Downloading the StorNext Client Software
The StorNext client software can be downloaded from a metadata
controller. (To download the client software, the client system must have
network access to the MDC.)
1On the client system, point a web browser to the URL (host name and
port number) of the MDC. For example, http://servername:81
Use one of the following web browsers to access the MDC (make sure
pop-up blockers are turned off):
• Internet Explorer 6.0 or later (including 7.0)
• Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later (including 2.0 or later)
2When prompted, type the username and password for the MDC, and
then click OK. (The default value for both username and password is
admin.)
The StorNext home page appears.
3Do one of the following:
• For a MDC running SNFS and SNSM: On the Admin menu, click
Download Client Software.
• For a MDC running SNFS only: On the home page, click
Download Client Software.
The Select Platform window appears (figure 19).
Note: You can download the client software only from MDCs
running Linux or Unix.
