Registering The Primary Svp Host Name; Configuring Java - Hitachi MK-96RD621-08 User Manual

Registering the Primary SVP Host Name

If you want to use the host name instead of IP address to specify the SVP in
the URL of the Storage Device List, you need to register the host name and IP
address to the DNS server, or you need to register them to the host file of the
Storage Navigator computer, which is the client PC.
Register the host name to the DNS server or the hosts file as follows:
•
DNS setting: Register the IP address and host name of the SVP to the DNS
server that manages the network to which the SVP is connected.
•
Hosts file setting: Add the IP address and host name of the SVP to the host
file of the Storage Navigator computer. The general directory of the hosts
file is as follows:
– Windows XP: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
– UNIX: /etc/hosts
You can register any host name to DNS server or the hosts file, but there are
restrictions on the letters you can use for the host name (see Storage Device
List Dialog Box).
If you acquire the public key certificate for the SSL-encrypted communication
from the CA (Certificate Authority), you will need to register the server name,
which is entered to the certificate as Common Name, as the host name to the
DNS server or the hosts file. For the SSL-encrypted communication, see the
Encrypted communications User's Guide.

Configuring Java

This section describes the procedures to configure Java for each JRE version.
You need to configure Java to enable trace and logging to save the Java log
file when an application error occurs in the Storage Navigator computer. Also,
to prevent unexpected complications when the microprogram is updated, we
recommend that you disable caching.
Caution: To allow Storage Navigator to access the SVP via a proxy server
using HTTP, set the proxy server on your Web browser. After the setting,
Storage Navigator accesses the SVP using the proxy server.
If you have set the SVP as an exception on the proxy setting of the Web
browser, it means that the proxy server is not used for accessing the SVP. In
this case, make the setting for Java the same as the Web browser setting.
