This chapter explains the window structure of the AdvancedCopy Manager Web client and details how to operate the initial window.
AdvancedCopy Manager provides efficient use of distributed storage, and uses a Web browser for centralized management of storage. The Web client of this product also offers the following management functions:
Security management
Backup management
Replication management
Each management window is activated from the AdvancedCopy Manager initial window. On the initial window the user can define a storage management server, storage server for storage management, and device information.
Figure 1.1 shows the AdvancedCopy Manager window structure.
Figure 1.2 shows an example system environment configuration.
The initial window and management windows of AdvancedCopy Manager are executed via the Web browser. Therefore, Java Plug-in 1.4.2_06 or later must be installed in the client. For installation details, refer to "Setting up a client" .
Activate the initial window by entering the AdvancedCopy Manager URL in the Web browser.
To access the Storage management server by its physical IP address, enter:
http://storage-management-server-physical-IP-address (:port-number)/swstorage/index.html
To access the Storage management server by its logical IP address (ex. in cluster operation), enter:
http://storage-management-server-logical-IP-address (:port-number)/swstorage/index.html
When the default (80) is set as a service target port number in the Web server setup, no port number need be specified. When a value other than the default is set, specify a port number.
Storage management server access through a proxy is not supported.
For details, see "Browser and Java Plug-in settings."
Usually the physical IP address of the Storage management server (mentioned above) and a logical IP address are entered when the AdvancedCopy Manager cluster is set up, or when the database is created during AdvancedCopy Manager installation. When distinguishing and employing the IP address for the Storage management server machine being equipped with two or more network cards, and using an above-mentioned IP address and an above-mentioned Web screen Please input the IP address set up by "GUI connection information setting command (stgguiipset)" in "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide".
If the storage management server uses a logical IP address (such as for cluster operation), then appropriate settings in authentication-related files are required. For more information, see "Settings of authentication-related files."
When [AdvancedCopy Manager URL] is selected on the Web browser, the authentication dialog box is displayed. Enter the name and password of a user or privileged user registered with the AdvancedCopy Manager authentication feature (i.e.root user), and click [OK].
See "Authentication Feature Window Operation" for details on how to register users and access permissions.
If user authentication fails, an error dialog is displayed as shown below. Enter the correct user name and password.
If an unregistered user name or an incorrect password is entered, the following error message is displayed:
A user name registered in the system was entered, but this user name is either not recorded in the AdvancedCopy Manager authentication system or does not have the required write, execute, or read permission.
The display item type, item sequence, and item display width set by a user on the initial window are retained for the user and are valid on the window when it is reactivated by the user. This configuration is valid each time the same user name is used.
This is the first view displayed after user authentication.
This view displays server information, and
is displayed when [Site] is double-clicked on the Tree window.
The display item of this screen can also be displayed using the "stgxfwcmdispsrv" command of AdvancedCopy Manager.
Refer to "Configuration management command" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide" for details on commands.

In the Device List view, select the device to check, and select [List Devices in the Same Logical Group] from the [Operations] menu. The window shown below is displayed.
Alternatively, in the Device List view, right-click the device, and select [List Devices in the Same Logical Group] from the popup menu. The window shown below is displayed.
The details displayed are based on information registered in AdvancedCopy Manager. Therefore, when the configuration has been changed there is a device not registered in a logical group, and after it registers, correct information is not displayed. For this case, please execute acquisition of device information on the registration of the device not registered and the device which does the "Acquisition/reflection of information on all devices" processing again.
This section describes software settings required for the initial window and each management window.
Java Plug-in 1.4.2_06 or later must be installed in the client to use the initial window and each management window. Download the installer for JRE(including the Java Plug-in) from the Sun Microsystems,Inc. Java2 Runtime Environment download web site.
The URL as of May, 2006 is:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
(The URL may be changed without prior notice.)
If a version earlier than Java Plug-in 1.4.2_06 is installed in the client, remove it before installing Java Plug-in 1.4.2_06 or later.
Be sure to restart the Web browser.
The settings of authentication-related files must be defined when:
The storage management server uses a logical IP address (such as for cluster operation), and
If multiple network cards are mounted in the Storage management server.
If swstorage.policy, which is linked to the screen displayed by the web browser, is selected after pointing the browser to the AdvancedCopy Manager URL, a download dialog box is displayed. If [Save to file] or [Save this file to disk] is selected, the following dialog box is displayed.
Save the file to the directory containing the Java Plug-ins installation folder \lib\security.
After saving the file, change the IP address on the first line in the saved file to the IP address to be entered as the URL. Edit it as follows:
The storage management server uses a logical IP address that is "50.50.50.50":
"10.10.10.10" -> "50.50.50.50"
"60.60.60.60" is the IP address specified for the URL, and the address is different from the IP address set on the storage management server:
"10.10.10.10" -> "60.60.60.60"
For details on how to display the IP address for a GUI connection as specified on the Storage management server, see "GUI connection information setting command (stgguiipset)" in the ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide corresponding to the operating system used.
In the above cases, if the port number used to provide service is not the default value (80) in a Web server setting, then use an editor to add ":port-number" as a suffix to the IP address.
Example: Port number "8080" is used in a Web server setting to provide service
"10.10.10.10" -> "50.50.50.50:8080"
grant codeBase "http://50.50.50.50:8080/swstorage-j/archive/-" {
permission java.net.SocketPermission "20.20.20.20:1024-","accept,connect,listen,resolve";
};
Replace "20.20.20.20" on the second line of the stored file with the target physical address. If there is more than one target physical address, then copy and paste the second line as many times as the number of target physical IP addresses before the last line, and describe each address on one line.
If the storage management server uses a logical IP address, describe all physical IP addresses.
Describe all physical addresses of the active machine and every standby machine, particularly for cluster operation.
All the valid IP addresses, including the IP address to be specified as the URL, on the Storage management server, if multiple network cards are mounted in the Storage management server
Example: Physical IP address "70.70.70.70" and "80.80.80.80"
grant codeBase "http://50.50.50.50:8080/swstorage-j/archive/-" {
permission java.net.SocketPermission "70.70.70.70:1024-","accept,connect,listen,resolve";
permission java.net.SocketPermission "80.80.80.80:1024-","accept,connect,listen,resolve";
}; |
Add the final following line in the description to the Java Plug-in installation folder \lib\security\java.security file, which is the authentication setup file.
# The default is to have a single system-wide policy file,
# and a policy file in the user's home directory.
policy.url.1=file:${java.home}/lib/security/java.policy
policy.url.2=file:${user.home}/.java.policy
policy.url.3=file:${java.home}/lib/security/swstorage.policy |
Depending on the version of the Web browser that is used, the authentication-related files may be saved with incorrect file names. For example, "swstorage.policy" may be changed to "swstorage.policy.policy." If the file name is incorrect, the Web client cannot be used normally. Therefore, after saving the file, check whether its name is correct. If the file name is incorrect, change it to "swstorage.policy."
After modifying the data in the authentication setting file, be sure to restart the Web browser.
To use any management window in an environment where Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 has been applied, configure the settings of the Windows firewall function by performing the following steps:
Open the [Windows Firewall] window from [Control Panel].
Check the registered programs and services on the [Exceptions] tab.
Take action as follows according to the registration status of the Web browser used:
Click the [Add Program] button, and the [Add Program] dialog box is displayed.
Select the Web browser from the list.
Click the [Change Scope] button, and the [Change Scope] dialog box is displayed.
Specify the IP address of the storage management server in [Custom List], and click the [OK] button.
If the storage management server operates with a logical IP address, all physical IP addresses must be entered.
In cluster operation particularly, all physical IP addresses of the operating machine and standby machines must be entered.
If the IP address specified for the storage management server is not the IP address specified for the URL, all valid IP addresses for the storage management server, including the IP address specified for the URL, must be entered.
Click the [OK] button in the [Add Program] dialog box.
Click the [OK] button, and the [Windows Firewall] window closes.
Select the Web browser from the list of programs and services on the [Exceptions] tab.
Click the [Edit] button, and the [Edit] dialog box is displayed.
Click the [Change Scope] button, and the [Change Scope] dialog box is displayed.
If [Custom List] has been selected, add the IP address of the storage management server, and click the [OK] button.
If [My Network (subnet) only] has been selected and the user's network has the storage management server, click the [OK] button without making a change.
If the storage management server operates with a logical IP address, all physical IP addresses must be entered.
In cluster operation particularly, all physical IP addresses of the operating machine and standby machines must be entered.
If the IP address specified for the storage management server is not the IP address specified for the URL, all valid IP addresses for the storage management server, including the IP address specified for the URL, must be entered.
Click the [OK] button in the [Edit] dialog box.
Click the [OK] button, and the [Windows Firewall] window closes.
This section describes browser and Java Plug-in settings.
When a Java Plug-in is installed, open the [Java Plug-in Properties] window as follows:
Select [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [Java Plug-in].
Table 1.7 outlines the relationship between the settings in the [Java Plug-in Properties] window and Web browser window operations. Note that the Web browser window may not operate normally unless the proper settings are made in the properties window. The default values at the time of Java Plug-in installation are used for operation. No particular changes are necessary.

The [File] menu in the initial window shows the management functions under the AdvancedCopy Manager. This display differs depending on which management functions the user has access permission for. Only those management functions that the user has access permissions for can be selected. Management functions for which the user does not have access permissions are grayed out and cannot be selected.
Figure 1.3 shows an example where the user has Read permission for backup management but does not have any permission for replication management.
