Introduction

1.Introduction

StorView* Enclosure Management Interface is an information and monitoring tool for the Intel® Storage Server SSR212MC2 and SSR212MC2R.

StorView is also designed to work with supported hard disk enclosures (JBODs) directly attached to an HBA that supports SES (SCSI Enclosure Services). It is a component within the StorView Storage Management Software.

1.1System Requirements

Supported Enclosures:

Xyratex* RS-1603

Xyratex RS-1220

Supported HBAs:

See Intel Storage Server SSR212MC2 Tested Hardware and OS List (THOL)

Supported Operating Systems:

See Intel Storage Server SSR212MC2 Tested Hardware and OS List (THOL)

Note: only 32 bit operating systems are supported by StorView* Enclosure Management Software

1.2Startup Notes

Linux sg Driver

Use of the software on Linux requires the SCSI Generic (sg) driver to be loaded. If it does not show up in the list generated by the lsmod command, it can be inserted into the running kernel by typing: /sbin/modprobe sg.

To have the sg module loaded at boot time, add the following line to the /etc/rc.local file:

/sbin/modprobe sg > /dev/null 2>&1

Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration

Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration must be disabled before using this application. This can be done via the Windows Add/Remove Programs function.

Network Failover

If you are running the system with more than one network interface, failover will not occur if one network port is disconnected/disabled. For failover to the other network interface you will need to restart the StorView service.
