Accessing the Manager
Once you have initialized and configured your storage system (as described in
“Initializing your storage system”
and
“Configuring your storage system”
), you can access the Manager to add users, create shared folders, and perform other
tasks related to managing your storage system.
There are two ways to access the Manager:
l
Using the Console
l
Using a Web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or Firefox 1.06 or newer)
Using the Console, you can access the Manager only from a computer in the same
subnet as the storage system, but you do not have to know the name or IP address
of the storage system or otherwise modify the network settings.
Using a Web browser, you can access the Manager from any computer in your
network, but you must know the name or IP address of the storage system. In
addition, if you configured the storage system to use a specific IP address, you
might need to specify the IP address of the gateway in your network before you can
successfully access the Manager using a Web browser. First access the Manager
using the Console and then specify the gateway address (as described in
“Changing the network settings”
.) and try to access it using a Web browser.
Accessing the Manager using the Console
To access the Manager using the Console:
1. If you have not already done so, install the Console on each computer from
which you plan to manage the storage system (as described in
“Installing the
Console”
)
2. Start the Console and connect to the storage system (as described in
“Starting
the Console”
).
3. Log in to the Manager (as described in
“Logging in to the Manager”
).
