About this Guide
1 About Remote Web Console Operations Storage System Web Server and Java Client Remote Web Console is the interface for various Java applications that enable you to manage the storage system. Applications run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and are launched by Java Web Start through the web browsers on a Java client. The Java clients that run Remote Web Console applications are also called Remote Web Console computers. The storage system service processor (SVP) is the computer inside the storage system.
• View the storage system information • You can view storage system and LDEV information in the Identity window (“Identity Window” on page 54). • You can view the mounted status of ports in the Port Status window (“Port Status Window” on page 58). • You can view specific LUN, LDEV, and port values in the Reports Display dialog box, which is different from the Remote Web Console main window (“Reports Display Dialog Boxes” on page 69).
User Access Levels To use Remote Web Console, you need a user account. Remote Web Console user accounts contain the following information: • • • • User ID User type Password Operation authority For Remote Web Console, the default user account is administrator. By default, operation authority for all functions of Remote Web Console and program product options is given to the administrator user account. You cannot delete the administrator user account.
• View: If you have this authority, you can view the operation authority of all user accounts. You cannot add, change and delete the user accounts. However, you can change your own password. • Disable: You cannot view or change settings of other user accounts. However, you can change your password, and view the operation authorities for your user account.
The audit log is also stored in the SVP. The audit log that is stored in the SVP has the same format as the audit log that is transferred to syslog servers. You can download the stored audit log to the Remote Web Console computer as a syslog information file. Only the storage administrator can configure syslog servers for transferring the audit log or can download the syslog information file.
You need to change the SVP (Web server) to Apache, which supports SSL, in order to perform SSL-encrypted communication. Your HP service representative will change the SVP to the SSL-supported Apache. Important Terms and Concepts The Remote Web Console user should be familiar with the following terms and concepts: • Disk controller frame. The storage system has one disk controller frame that controls all data access and storage operations.

Overview of Login Procedures All Remote Web Console (Java client) users are required to log in to the Remote Web Console SVP (web server) with a valid user ID and password before executing the Remote Web Console Java application program. You need the user account for which the Account Administrator Role is set to Modify to register the Remote Web Console user accounts (see “Account Window” on page 61). The following figure shows an overview of the login process.
Restriction on Accessing Local Client Files The Java application has a strong security feature. Because of this feature, a user is not allowed to access local client files for the operation in the sandbox of a Java application. However, this sandbox security restriction can be lifted and the user can access the local files from Remote Web Console, because the electronic signature is given to the Remote Web Console Java application. The following figure shows the concept of the Java application security.
If you click Start, you are allowed to log in to Remote Web Console. As you click Start, you are allowed to access the local files during the Remote Web Console operation. You need to access the local files to use Remote Web Console. • Details If you click Details, you can view detailed information about the Java application. • Exit If you click Exit, you are not allowed to log in to Remote Web Console. • For JRE 1.5 or JRE 1.6 Figure 13 Warning - Security Dialog Box (for JRE 1.
2. Enter the IP address or fully qualified DNS name of the SVP in the web browser. The Login dialog box appears (see Figure 14 on page 37). Note: If the SVP is set to support SSL-encrypted communication, security messages might appear. For details, see “Using SSL-Encrypted Communication” on page 38. Note: If you are using a Windows Server 2003 computer, a message as shown in Figure 18 on page 40 may appear. If this message appears, take the following steps in “Using Windows Server 2003” on page 39.

If this message appears, take the following steps: 1. Click Add in the message dialog box. The Trusted Sites dialog box appears (see Figure 9 on page 33). 2.
Figure 18 Internet Explorer Message (when Logging In to the SVP from a Windows Server 2003 Computer) Changing Between View Mode and Modify Mode Remote Web Console has two operation modes: Modify mode and View mode. • View mode lets you view settings of the storage system. The operation mode is View mode when you log in to Remote Web Console. • Modify mode lets you lock the setting operation of other users so that they cannot change the settings of the storage system.
• When you change the storage system settings in View mode, Remote Web Console automatically locks the setting operations by other users when the user applies the desired changes on the window. Operating in View mode requires less time to lock the setting operations by other users than operating in Modify mode.
Figure 20 Overview of License Keys and Option Installation The following table describes the types of license keys: Table 9 License Key Type Description Expiration Usable Capacity Temporary License key for trial use (Try & Buy). 120 days No upper limit Permanent License key for purchase. No limit Each program product option has an upper limit of the volume capacity that can be used. Term License key for purchase.
• The configuration settings that were made before the temporary license key expired remain in effect and cannot be deleted. Permanent Key A permanent key is purchased if you want to use program product options indefinitely. A permanent key has an upper limit of volume capacity that can be used for each program product option. Before purchasing the permanent key, you need to estimate the volume capacity that can be used for the program product option. This volume capacity is called the licensed capacity.
Note: When the license key for a program product expires, the license key of a program product which requires the expired program product will be also disabled. Licensed Capacity The licensed capacity is volume capacity that you are licensed to use with a program product option. You need to estimate the amount of volume capacity that you want to use with the program product option before you purchase the permanent key or the term key.
Remote Web Console Options The following table lists the options for the Remote Web Console and the licensed capacity type.

5 Troubleshooting General Troubleshooting For troubleshooting information on the storage system, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000 Disk Array Owner's Guide. For a complete list of Remote Web Console error codes, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000 Remote Web Console Error Codes. The user is responsible for the operation and normal maintenance of the Remote Web Console computer. Here are some guidelines for troubleshooting the Remote Web Console computer: • Check the cabling and the LAN.
Error Condition Probable Cause / Recommended Action Only the Exit button, the Refresh, and Refresh All commands are effective when accessing the SVP from the Remote Web Console. The SVP might not be ready or perform some write processes from the other system. Wait for a while, and then click the Refresh command in the File menu. If the SVP is not restored even though you have clicked the Refresh command, click the Refresh All command.
Error Condition Probable Cause / Recommended Action Remote Web Console does not respond. Exit the Remote Web Console by pressing Ctrl key, Alt key, Shift key, and D key all at once. If you still cannot exit the Remote Web Console, restart the Remote Web Console computer, or terminate the Remote Web Console process with the following method. For Windows: Exit all applications that use Java, and then start the task manager and terminate javaw.exe and javaws.exe.
Error Condition Probable Cause / Recommended Action Incorrect Display/ Disoperation during the Remote Web Console Operation You have clicked the Basic Information command ( ), and then you have opened the setting dialog box of the other program product before the displaying processing (acquiring information for the Reports Display dialog box) has not been finished. As a result, the Reports Display dialog box remains in the status of displaying processing and does not reply.
Error Condition Probable Cause / Recommended Action The program on the SVP is updated. Exit all web browsers on the Remote Web Console computer, and then restart the browsers. If in doubt, you should exit and restart the browsers. Remote Web Console processing is temporarily delayed. An internal processing (for example, configuration change, P.P. check, operational information acquisition, etc.) might be being executed on the SVP (Web server). If you are unable to resolve an error condition.
