5.6 HP StorageWorks X9000 File Serving Software User Guide (TA768-96035, June 2011)

IMPORTANT: The servers hosting the agile management console must be file serving nodes. Do
not use a dedicated Management Server that cannot be converted to a file serving node as a host
for the agile management console.
Complete the following steps to install the agile management console on all file serving nodes:
1. If your cluster is not currently using the agile management console configuration, migrate to
the agile configuration using the procedure in the administration guide for your system.
2. Install a passive agile management console on each cluster node that is not currently hosting
an active or passive agile management console. You will need the X9000 installation code
to perform the installation. As delivered, this code is provided in
/tmp/<system_type>/ibrix, where <system_type> is X9300, X9320, or X9720. If
this directory no longer exists, download the installation code from the HP support website
for your storage system.
Run the following command:
[root]# <install_code_directory>/ibrixinit -tm -C
<local_cluster_interface_device> –v <cluster_VIF_IP> -m
<cluster_netmask> -d <cluster_VIF_device> [-V <user_VIF_IP>] [-N
<user_netmask>] [-D <user_VIF_device>] -w 9009 –M passive –F
For example:
[root]# <install_code_directory>/ibrixinit -tm -C bond0 -v 10.30.83.1
-m 255.255.248.0 -d bond0:0 -V 172.16.3.1 -N 255.255.0.0 -D bond1:0
-w 9009 -M passive –F
Configuring local groups and local users
If you selected Local Users as the authentication method, you will need to configure local user and
local group accounts. Create a local user account for each user that will be accessing CIFS, FTP,
or HTTP shares, and create at least one local group account for the users. The account information
is stored internally in the cluster.
When naming local groups and users, you should be aware of the following:
• User and group names must be unique. The new name cannot already be used by another
user or group.
• The following names cannot be used for users or groups: administrator, guest, root.
Configuring local group accounts
Local group accounts can be managed from the management console GUI or CLI. On the GUI,
select Cluster Configuration > Local Groups from the Navigator. The Local Groups pane shows the
local groups that are currently configured.
