134 Troubleshooting
A new Linux server has been added to the SAN, and it has the appropriate Simple
SAN Connection Manager Agent running, but the Linux server is not being discovered
by the Windows 2003 Simple SAN Connection Manager server.
f the local SAN is not running DNS, then there is no Domain Name Server to perform
I
the name server-to-IP resolution for the newly-attached server. You must manually add
the Linux Server Name and IP address to the Simple SAN Connection Manager hosts
file. The file is located at:
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Example of hosts file:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names.
# Each entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address
# should be placed in the first column followed by the
# corresponding host name. The IP address and the host name should
# be separated by at least one space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on
# individual lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#'
# symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97
# 38.25.63.10
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.1.6.65 apsun01
10.3.8.5 DL145-1
10.3.8.127 DL380G3-2
10.3.8.107 DL320-1
10.3.8.109 ml370-1
I updated Simple SAN Connection Manager to a newer version and when I
re-launched the program, all of my aliases were lost. How do I save them before
updating to a newer version?
Before removing, reinstalling, or updating the Simple SAN Connection Manager
application, preserve your aliases by saving the file HP_SSCM.ALI. This file is located
in the same directory as the Simple SAN Connection Manager executable. After the
new version has been installed, copy the file back to the directory where the new
executable is installed.
This also applies when you install and launch Simple SAN Connection Manager on a
new server and want to preserve the aliases created when running Simple SAN
Connection Manager on an older server.
