ETERNUS SF Disk Space Monitor User's Guide - Microsoft(R) Windows Server(TM) 2003/Solaris(TM) Operating System/Linux - 13.0

Chapter 16 Setting up an HTTP Communication Environment

ETERNUS SF Disk Space Monitor uses HTTP to conduct the communications that are used in management. This chapter explains how to set up the HTTP communication environment.

It is necessary to set up the HTTP communication environment in the following situations:

Operation management client	Always required.
Manager	Not Required.
Agent	Required when communicating with the Manager using the pull method and using a general HTTP service instead of the thttpd function provided with ETERNUS SF Disk Space Monitor.

Check that the Web server connection timeout period is set to a value not less than 300 seconds. If the setting is less than 300 seconds, the error message "Cannot Find Server or DNS Error" may appear when the Report view is displayed. This confirmation is particularly important for Microsoft(R) Internet Information Server 6.0, which has a standard timeout setting of only 120 seconds.

If the connection timeout is set to 300 seconds or more, set the CGI script timeout to 300 seconds or more as well. The standard setting is 300 seconds.
