Chapter 9 Managing Servers Over the Network Other Requirements Before installing the software for HP NetRAID management, ensure that the network is operating and that all of the following have been done: • HP NetRAID-1M or 2M adapters and any integrated HP NetRAID controllers are configured in all servers to be managed. (See Chapter 5, "Installation and Configuration," of this guide for instructions.) • NOS-specific HP NetRAID drivers are installed in all servers. (See Chapter 6, "HP NetRAID Software," of this guide for instructions.) • TCP/IP is configured and operational on all clients and servers. • You must know the server names and their IP addresses. Understanding HP NetRAID Network Utilities The software that lets you manage HP NetRAID-1M or 2M adapters and integrated HP NetRAID controllers over a network is built on remote procedure calls (RPC) using TCP/IP protocol. In NetWare 5.x, sockets are used instead of RPC. The HP NetRAID network utilities include the following: • HP NetRAID Assistant is the GUI utility that provides a user interface to the adapters in the servers on the network. This utility can run on either clients or servers on the network. • HP NetRAID Access Service is installed on all servers with HP NetRAID-1M and 2M adapters or integrated HP NetRAID controllers that will be managed over the network. This utility makes the server and its integrated HP NetRAID controller or HP NetRAID adapters, accessible to a client or another server running HP NetRAID Assistant. • HP NetRAID Registration Server is installed on one server or client, and it maintains the list of servers that can be accessed over the network. When the servers start, they check in with the Registration Server, which keeps track of the servers available for access by HP NetRAID Assistant. When HP NetRAID Assistant is started, it obtains the list of available servers from the Registration Server. Each network requires one Registration Server in order to support the HP NetRAID network utilities. 109
