HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager Installation Guide (T3680-96016, July 2006)

• Install the software on the SMA using the setup ﬁles and Add/Remove Programs, not the SMA

software interface.

• Immediately install the H P JREserver to facilitate obtaining the preferred JRE for browsing to the

replication ma n ager. A supported JRE is required on the browsing client. For supported JRE

versions, see HP StorageWorks EVA software compatibility reference. For installation instructions,

see

HP StorageWorks JREserver installation instructions.

• In remote replication conﬁgurations, HP recommends installing the server software on the same

management server type at the local and remote sites.

• If the ﬁles that exist on the manag em ent server or host ser ver are newer than the software

installation ﬁles, HP recommends that you do not replace these ﬁles.

Setting cre

dentials

Setting credentials requires that local or domain groups are created on the ser vers where you will install

the

replication ma nag er server software and host software. Each group must contain at least one user.

You must set credentials so the replication manag er can:

• Authentic

ate users with the operating system

• Assign default privileges based on the operating system groups to which users belong

• Authenticate application integration

NOTE:

In this se

ction, unless a speciﬁc reference is made to the HP Storage Users group,

user

refers to all

people wh

can access the software.

Management server

The managem ent server credentials are created during the H P Command View EVA installation process.

The manual procedure for creating the credentials is listed in this section for ease of reference.

To set credentials on the management server:

1. Use the Windows operating system feature to create the following groups:

•HP Storage Admins

•HP Storage Users

IMPORTANT:

You must specify the group names exactly as described in this step; otherwise the replication manager

will be unable to authorize these groups when y ou log in to the replication manager. See your Windows

documentation for instructions about creating groups.

These groups have default privileges assigned to them. Anyone in the HP Storage Admins group can

view and perform all tasks. Anyone in the HP Storage Users group can only view information.

2. Create users and assign them to these groups. Enter a name and password for the user and select

agroup forthe user.
