6.3 HP StoreAll 9300/9320 Storage Administrator Guide (AW549-96072, June 2013)

StoreAll client interfaces

StoreAll clients can access the Fusion Manager as follows:

• Linux clients. Use Linux client commands for tasks such as mounting or unmounting file systems

and displaying statistics. See the HP StoreAll Storage CLI Reference Guide for details about

these commands.

• Windows clients. Use the Windows client GUI for tasks such as mounting or unmounting file

systems and registering Windows clients.

Using the Windows StoreAll client GUI

The Windows StoreAll client GUI is the client interface to the Fusion Manager. To open the GUI,

double-click the desktop icon or select the StoreAll client program from the Start menu on the client.

The client program contains tabs organized by function.

NOTE: The Windows StoreAll client GUI can be started only by users with Administrative

privileges.

• Status. Shows the client’s Fusion Manager registration status and mounted file systems, and

provides access to the IAD log for troubleshooting.

• Registration. Registers the client with the Fusion Manager, as described in the HP StoreAll

Storage Installation Guide.

• Mount. Mounts a file system. Select the Cluster Name from the list (the cluster name is the

Fusion Manager name), enter the name of the file system to mount, select a drive, and then

click Mount. (If you are using Remote Desktop to access the client and the drive letter does

not appear, log out and log in again.)

• Umount. Unmounts a file system.

• Tune Host. Tunable parameters include the NIC to prefer (the client uses the cluster interface

by default unless a different network interface is preferred for it), the communications protocol

(UDP or TCP), and the number of server threads to use.

• Active Directory Settings. Displays current Active Directory settings.

For more information, see the client GUI online help.

StoreAll software manpages

StoreAll software provides manpages for most of its commands. To view the manpages, set the

MANPATH variable to include the path to the manpages and then export it. The manpages are in

the $IBRIXHOME/man directory. For example, if $IBRIXHOME is /usr/local/ibrix (the

default), set the MANPATH variable as follows and then export the variable:

MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/ibrix/man

Changing passwords

You can change the following passwords on your system:

• Hardware passwords. See the documentation for the specific hardware for more information.

• Root password. Use the passwd(8) command on each server.

• StoreAll software user password. This password is created during installation and is used to

command.

# passwd ibrix

You will be prompted to enter the new password.
