Manage Client Connection to the Daemon
The SiI 4726 Manager consists of two modules:
39
● Daemon
● User interface
The daemon monitors the status of SiI 4726 Storage Appliances and performs SAFE volume rebuilds.
By default, the user interface attaches to a daemon running on the same host to display the
information gathered by the daemon. The end-user can configure the user interface to display
information tracked by a daemon running on a remote host. Having the user interface remote to the
daemon allows remote monitoring for system fan and hard disk drive failures. Identification of a failed
part will allow the service provider to replace failed components before further complications arise.
Import a configuration file
The end-user should have the following before a remote connection can be established:
● The daemon is installed and running on a host computer connected to the SiI 4726
Storage Appliance.
● The user interface is installed and running on a remote host computer.
● A TCP/IP connection can be established between the daemon and the user interface. The
daemon listens for connections on TCP port 51115. Do not change this port number.
Set up a remote connection
1. In the Status window, select Change Connection from the File menu.
2. Enter the hostname or IP address of the PC hosting the daemon. Click OK.
The user interface will establish the requested connection and will display the information
gathered by the remote daemon in the Status window.
