2-1 Preparing for GUI Operations
Before starting Tiered Storage Manager operation, you must check the following:
Storage Subsystem
All the storage subsystems being managed by Tiered Storage Manager must be connected by a LAN,
and must be accessible from the Tiered Storage Manager's management server and management
clients.
A storage subsystem being used as a domain controller must be connected to the external subsystem,
and a logical device within that external subsystem must be mapped to the domain controller.
The term “domain controller” in this user’s guide refers to the StorageWorks XP12000 and the
StorageWorks XP10000.
Device Manager server
The Device Manager server must be installed and set up in advance so that it is fully ready for use. For
more information, refer to the HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition Device Manager
Server Installation and Configuration Guide.
Tiered Storage Manager server
The Tiered Storage Manager server must be installed and set up in advance so that it is fully ready for
use. For more information, refer to the HP StorageWorks XP Tiered Storage Manager Server Installation
and Configuration Guide.
Browser
Check the name and version of the browser you are using:
• If your OS is Solaris ® , verify that your browser is Netscape Navigator ® 7.0 or Mozilla ® 1.4 or later.
• If your OS is Windows ® , verify that your browser is Internet Explorer 6.0 or later.
Internet Explorer with Windows ® XP Service Pack
If you are using Internet Explorer with Windows ® XP Service Pack 2, a problem can occur such as a pop-
up window not opening. In such cases, do the following for the connection-target server:
1. From the Internet Explorer Tools menu, select Pop-up Blocker, and then Pop-up Blocker Settings.
2. Type the address (URL) of the connection-target server in the Address of Web site to allow box, and then
click Add.
If the registration processing ends successfully, the server will be added and displayed in the Allowed
sites box.
Internet Explorer and Displayed Fonts
If you specify a font size in Internet Explorer to one other than medium, it might display differently during
processing from what you have specified. When display processing finishes, the fonts will display in the
size you specified. This does not affect operations.
Language Used for the Tiered Storage Manager GUI
The language you use for the Tiered Storage Manager GUI depends on the language setting for the
browser you are using. The date format also depends on the language setting for your browser.
The time is always displayed in 24-hour format, regardless of the browser's language setting.
