6.1 Starting the Storage System Management GUI

This section describes the procedure to start the Storage System Management GUI.

Note

Since the ETERNUS Web GUI and the ETERNUS CLI has a higher authority over modification functions than the Storage System Management GUI, if you use them at the same time, the Storage System Management GUI may end abnormally.

For example, while a configuration is being changed with the ETERNUS Web GUI, you cannot execute "6.5 Reload construct configuration" with the Storage System Management GUI.

Therefore, when you use the Storage System Management GUI, do not use the ETERNUS Web GUI and the ETERNUS CLI.

  1. Make sure whether the Computer Browser service is started. (Only when the computer is joined to a Windows domain)

    If the computer is joined to the Windows domain, it is required that the Computer Browser service has been started in order to use the Storage System Management GUI.

    For this reason, make sure that the [Status] of the Computer Browser service is [Started] by clicking on [Control Panel] > [Administrative Tools] > [Services].

    Point

    The Computer Browser service on Windows Server 2008 is stopped by default.

  2. Start the Storage System Management GUI.

    • In the case of a user account with administrator authority whose OS is Windows Server 2008 and whose user name is not Administrator:

      [Start] > [All Programs] > [ETERNUS SF Express] > [Express], and right-click the [Express] to display [Run as Administrator].

    • In cases other than above:

      [Start] > [Programs] > [ETERNUS SF Express] > [Express].

  3. Login.

    Enter your user ID and password to log into the Storage System Management GUI.

    In each environment, the following user IDs can be specified.

    • Local server: Local user

    • Domain member server: Local user and Domain user

    • Domain controller server (PDC/BDC): Domain user

    Note

    When the domain user is specified, it is specified with "Domain-name\user-name" format.
