Remote Management
The Marathon Manager can be installed on a remote workstation to
administer the AA 4000 array. Connection can be done using either
a local area network or a modem. After installing the Marathon
Manager and establishing the remote connection, the administrator
can use Marathon Manager features and options to administer an AA
4000 array.
When using Marathon Manager on a remote workstation:
• For security purposes, each Remote Marathon Manager user
must have an account on the local and remote systems. These
accounts must have the same username and password. In
addition, the user must be a member of the Windows NT
Administrators group on the remote system.
• Enter the CE computer name for the Endurance 4000 that you
want to monitor in the Server name field.
• When Marathon Manager is connected to a remote Endurance
4000, the computer name of that Endurance 4000 is displayed in
the title bar of the window.
• Marathon Configuration Utility only operates on an IOP.
Because of this, the Marathon Configuration Utility (the
Marathon Manager, Tools Marathon Configuration Utility
option) is not available on any remote workstation or the CE.
• The Tools Marathon Events Utility option (MTCLOG) is not
available using Remote Marathon Manager.
• On the Tools Windows NT Utilities menu, only the following
options are available:
• Event Viewer
• Explorer
• Performance Monitor
• Registry Editor
• On the Tools Windows NT Utilities menu, when you select
Event Viewer or Registry Editor, you must use the application’s
Select Computer option to access the remote AA 4000’s Event
Viewer or Registry Editor.
• Using Microsoft’s Remote Access Server and Marathon
Manager, you can use a remote workstation to administer your
Endurance 4000. Depending on your remote Marathon Manager
configuration, this combination provides access to either or both
IOPs.
