the software from the cache whenever possible. If for some reason the software
version running on the server cannot be identified, the applications use the latest
version in their cache.
When you invoke mxconsole or mx from a local machine, by default the application
checks the current software version on the server to which it is being connected and
then downloads the software only if that version is not already in the local cache.
User authentication
When HP Scalable NAS is installed, it determines whether the Pluggable
Authentication Modules (PAM) mechanism is configured on the system. If PAM is
installed, a PAM configuration file will be created for the HP Scalable NAS pswebsrv
authentication module, and authentication will be done via the method specified in
the PAM configuration.
If PAM is not installed on the system, authentication will be done with the local shadow
password files.
Manage a cluster with the HP Scalable NAS Management Console
The Management Console can manipulate all entities in the cluster, including entities
that are currently down. For example, you can change the configuration of a down
server; it will learn its new configuration when it comes back up and rejoins the
cluster.
NOTE:
For improved performance, the Management Console caches hostname lookups. If
your DNS changes, you may need to restart the console so that it will reflect the new
hostname.
Start the Management Console
To start the Management Console, first start the windowing environment and then
type the following command:
$ mxconsole
The HP Scalable NAS Connect window then appears. If the window does not display
properly, verify that your DISPLAY variable is set correctly.
