HP StorageWorks Fabric Manager 5.x Administrator Guide (AA-RUQSF-TE, September 2005)

26 Installation
10.Select your FTP server option.
The FTP server is used primarily as a firmware repository.
11.Click Install.
You are prompted to wait while Fabric Manager is installed on your machine.
The Please Specify Starting Port Number window opens.
12.Enter the starting port number.
The default is 24600.
If the default starting port number is not a free port number, the server cannot start up correctly. If you
enter a new port number, you must ensure that it and the next five port numbers represent free ports.
Make note of the port number that you enter; you must use the same port number during the client
installation.
NOTE: If you are upgrading or migrating from a previous version of Fabric Manager, you might receive
a message indicating that the ports are unavailable. This can occur when the ports have yet to be
released by the previous uninstall. Wait a few minutes and try again.
13.Click Next.
You are prompted to wait while Fabric Manager configures your machine.
14.Select your authentication method and click Next.
• For Windows domain/workgroup authentication: Enter the windows domain or workgroup name
and then click Next.
NOTE: If your machine is running Windows XP and it belongs to a local workgroup, but you want to
authenticate the users locally (instead of using a Windows domain controller), you must perform the
following Windows XP registry configuration:
1. Set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\ForceGuest to 0.
2. Disable the guest account.
3. Create a local user and use it to log in from Fabric Manager.
The SAN size selection window opens.
• For RADIUS server authentication: HP recommends that you configure at least two RADIUS servers
so that if one fails, the other assumes service. You can configure up to three RADIUS servers.
a. Enter values for the following:
• RADIUS server IP address or DNS name.
• RADIUS authentication port number.
• Authentication type. The authentication type should match the setting on your RADIUS server.
• Shared secret and confirm shared secret. The shared secret is a password for the RADIUS client
and server. It is used in an encryption process to obscure details in RADIUS messages like user
passwords.
HP recommends that the shared secret contain at least 22 characters with mixed-case letters,
numerals, symbol and punctuation characters.
• Timeout. The number of seconds the client waits for the RADIUS server to reply.
• Retry. The number of attempts to connect to the RADIUS server before giving up.
b. Click Add.
c. Optional: You can add multiple RADIUS servers by entering their configuration information and
clicking Add. To edit the information you have already entered, select it from the list, make your
changes, and then click Update.
d. Click Next.
The SAN size selection window opens.
