Manage the Client Connection to the Daemon
The SteelVine Manager software consists of two modules:
• Daemon: a background process that establishes communication with the SteelVine
Storage Processors (implemented as a Service on Windows platforms)
• SteelVine Manager GUI: an application that provides the graphical user interface
The
daemon monitors the status of the SteelVine Storage Reference Design. By default, the
user interface attaches to a daemon running on the same host to display the information
gathered by the daemon. You can configure the user interface to display information tracked
by a daemon running on a remote host. Having the user interface remote to the daemon
allows remote monitoring for system fan and hard drive failures. Identification of a failed
part may then allow the service provider to replace failed components before further
complications arise.
Prerequisites
Ensure you have the following before you establish the remote connection:
• The daemon software is installed and running on a host computer connected to the
SteelVine Storage Reference Design.
• The SteelVine Manager GUI software is installed and running on a remote host
computer.
• A TCP/IP connection can be established between the daemon and the user
interface. The daemon listens for connections on TCP port 51116. Do not change
this port number.
