Storage Manager Linux The Linux communication server is installed if the option is selected during the Storage Manager software install process. The server module is copied to /usr/dpt and loads automatically. A valid user name and password are required to access a Linux system from a remote Storage Manager client. The user ID must have root privileges on the host system. FreeBSD The FreeBSD communication server is installed if the option is selected during the Storage Manager software install process. The server module is copied to /usr/dpt and loads automatically. A valid user name and password are required to access a FreeBSD system from a remote Storage Manager client. The user ID must have root privileges on the host system. Connecting Servers and Workstations The Storage Manager client must have a physical connection to connect to a remote server. Servers and workstations communicating by TCP/IP must be connected by a local area network (LAN) or the Internet. Some operating systems may require additional TCP/IP protocol configuration before use. Refer to your operating system documentation for more information. The client workstation specifies the TCP/IP address of the server, along with a user name and password as required by the server. Connecting to Remote Systems Select Communication > Make Connection to use Storage Manager to manage the controller in a remote server system using the Remote Communication feature. This menu item displays the Available Connections window as shown in Figure 3-28. You may alternatively use the IP=address command line parameter when you start Storage Manager. This parameter causes Storage Manager to connect to the remote system at the specified IP address instead of the default Local connection. 3-59
