Software Installation: Linux10
Installing StorView
Log in as “root”.
Insert the Software and Manuals Disc into your CD drive.
Change directories to the software location.
cd [CDROM mount point path]/software/storview/linux
Execute the installer. Type:
./StorViewInstall
Note: If you receive a message that there is no match for your version of Linux, you will be
presented with a list to choose from of the available certified operating systems.
Follow the on-screen prompts. The following utilities are provided to manage StorView:
/opt/StorView/StartStorView
/opt/StorView/StopStorView
/etc/rc.d/init.d/StorView {start|stop}

The directory where the software installs is the /opt/StorView directory.
To start StorView and the Apache web server type the following:
./StartStorView
To stop StorView and the Apache web server type the following:
./StopStorView
To determine if StorView is running, type the following:
ps -ef | grep -i StorView
Look for a running process named StorViewServer. There will be several of them. The Apache web
server process is named “httpd”.
The above command uses the recommended options, however you may use other options. Linux
also has a pgrep command. Type “pgrep StorViewServer” or “pgrep httpd” and get a list of process
IDs. No IDs means it is not running.
Start StorView by opening your web browser software and entering the IP address of the
host computer attached to the storage system followed by the port number. The format is
“HTTP://1<your_IP>:9292,” “HTTP://127.0.0.1:9292” or “HTTP://localhost:9292”. Refer to the
MAXDATA SR1202 M1 - StorView

RAID User Guide for more information.
Removing StorView from Linux Platforms
Log in as “root”.
Change directories:
cd /opt/StorView
From the command prompt, type:
./UninstallStorView

If this is the first startup of the Embedded StorView module, you will probably need to configure
the network settings. The Embedded StorView module supports both DHCP and manual network
settings. By default the Embedded StorView module will look for a DHCP server to obtain an IP
address. If one is not found, it will search to determine if an IP address had been previously assigned.
If an address was not previously assigned, then the system defaults to an IP address of:
10.1.1.5 for the lower RAID Controller (Controller 0)
10.1.1.6 for the upper RAID Controller (Controller 1)
10.1.1.7 if an error is detected
Subnet Mask is 255.0.0.0
A tool is provided to configure new Embedded StorView modules. From Windows platforms it
is access via the Embedded link on the disc navigation menu and on Linux it is accessed via a
command line executable.
When the Embedded StorView Setup program is run, it will broadcast UDP packets and any
Embedded StorView module will reply with UDP packets containing their information. A list of
“uninitialized” systems is displayed. Uninitialized systems are those which have not had the default
user name and password changed. Even if a configuration is created with arrays and logical drives
but the login name and password have not been changed, it will still be considered an uninitialized
system. During the process of configuring an Embedded StorView module, you will be required to
enter a “new’ password and confirm that password. The default password is “password”.
The Embedded StorView module is identified by its MAC and IP address. It may be more helpful
during setup to configure one Embedded StorView module at a time. You will find the MAC address
located on a label affixed to the top of the controller case or by accessing the VT-100 text-based
menu function for Embedded StorView Menu mode and viewing the network settings. Note the
specific address of each controller in multiple controller environments and the location where that
specific controller is installed in the enclosure.

Embedded StorView Initial Setup

Setting up the Embedded StorView Module: Microsoft Windows
Insert the SR1202 Resource Disc into your CD drive. The autorun program will automatically
start the navigation menu, click on the link for the hardware (SR1202) product which you
have installed.
Under Software click the “Embedded StorView Setup” link to begin the Setup Wizard.
You are presented with a Welcome screen with instructions to proceed. Review the
information and click the “Next” button.

The program will begin searching for Embedded StorView modules.
Those embedded modules with their default password intact will be displayed with their
MAC address in an Uninitialized list window. If all discovered embedded modules have had
their default passwords changed, then you will be taken to the Initialized screen.
From the Uninitialized screen, select the MAC address of the embedded module you wish
to configure. If you wish to use a DHCP server to assign your IP address, click the check box
“Use DHCP”.
If you wish to manually configure your network setting, enter the correction information in
the appropriate fields.
Enter a “new” password and confirm the new password. Click the “Configure” button.
If you have additional uninitialized embedded modules, select the next MAC address and
choose the appropriate settings from the previous step.
Once you have completed configuring all the uninitialized embedded modules and have
clicked the “Configure” button, the wizard will display a popup message indicating all
systems have been configured. It will then re-scan for systems and if none are found, you
will be taken to the Initialized screen. If someone plugs in a uninitialized module system to
the network (same subnet mask) during the time of the rescan or resets a system’s password
back to the defaults, you will be taken to the Uninitialized screen again.
Select the MAC address of the embedded module you wish to start and click the “Launch
StorView” button.
Your default web browser will open with a login screen. Enter the login name and “new”
password then click “OK”. The StorView Main screen will open.
Log in as “root”.
Insert the Software and Manuals Disc into your CD drive.
Change directories to the software location. Type:
cd [CDROM mount point path]/software/storview/embedded
Execute the Embedded StorView Setup Tool. From the command prompt, type:
./esvsetupcl-linux
Embedded StorView Setup Tool. v1.0
Entering Menu Mode.
Follow the on screen prompts. At the conclusion of the setup you will be instructed on how
to proceed.
