Q

3.1.1

Using the SANbox SSP Management GUI

The SANbox SSP Management GUI is supported on Microsoft Windows platforms running Internet Explorer version 5 or greater. To run the SANbox SSP Management GUI, Java WebStart must be installed on your management station. Java WebStart is an application that allows you to download and run a full-featured Java application, such as the SANbox SSP Management GUI, directly from a web page.

SANbox SSP simplifies the task of configuring the management station by automatically detecting whether Java WebStart needs to be installed when the management station first accesses SANbox SSP. If Java WebStart is not present on the management station, SANbox SSP can provide a copy of the application that you can download and install. See "To install Java WebStart:" on page 4-2and "To download the SANbox SSP Management GUI from a web browser:" on page 4-3for more information.

Once you've installed the WebStart application, the web console enables you to access the SANbox SSP Management GUI remotely using your standard web browser. For web browsers already running Sun's Java WebStart application, skip the next two sections and see "To log into the SANbox SSP Management GUI:" on page 4-4.

NOTE: Sun Microsystems provides versions of Java WebStart for Windows and other platforms through its Java website. You may be able to use the SANbox SSP Management GUI from non-Windows management stations using a version of Java WebStart provided by Sun; however, QLogic only supports the use of the SANbox SSP Management GUI on Windows platforms running Internet Explorer version 5 or greater in conjunction with the version of the Java WebStart application provided with your SANbox SSP.

To install Java WebStart:

For web browsers on Windows platforms that are already running Sun's Java WebStart application, see the next section “Using the Web Console” instead. For web browsers on Windows platforms that do not yet have Sun's Java WebStart application installed, follow this procedure:

1.From a web browser, enter the management port (labeled ) IP address as the URL and press the Enter key.

2.In the screen that displays, click Here is a local copy for Windows users to install the Sun Java WebStart Application on your machine.

3.The License Agreement dialog box displays. In the License Agreement dialog box, click Accept to begin software installation.
