38 Spheras Storage Director Installation and User Guide
4 If you did not install your HTTP server prior to installing the Spheras Storage Director server, your HTTP server
was not configured automatically during the installation process. To configure your HTTP server, see , Appendix A
Manually Configuring HTTP Servers on page 201.
5 Set up a user ID on the system that is running the Spheras Storage Director server. The Spheras Storage Director
server uses existing user IDs on the server running it to authenticate users and assign authorities to them. See 3.1
Security access levels on page 45.
6 Stop and restart the Spheras Storage Director Server service:
Open a Terminal Window and type the following (these examples assume that you accepted the default path during
installation):
cd /opt/Adaptec/SpherasStorageDirectorServer/
then type,
./serverctl stop
followed by:
./serverctl start
2.5.2 Client Component
The Spheras Storage Director Client requires a fully-configured, JRE-enabled web browser. Each time that an Spheras
Storage Director Client connects to a Spheras Storage Director Server the browser configuration is checked to ensure
that an appropriate level of the JRE plugin is installed. Following are suggestions for installing and configuring the JRE
plugin for use with a Netscape browser:
1 Start Netscape and open the URL for an Spheras Storage Director Server. For example: http://
server_machine_name/SSD/ssd.htmhttp://server_machine_name/dsm/dsm.htm
2 Download the JRE installation files as instructed by the “Java Runtime Environment Plugin Installation” dialog.
This dialog starts automatically if the client browser does not already have an appropriate JRE installed. Download
the installation files to a known location. For example: /J2RE (a J2RE directory under the root directory).
3 Change the directory to the location used in the previous step:
cd /J2RE
4 Grant execute permission to the bin file:
chmod 555 file_name
5 Execute the bin file. You will be prompted to acknowledge the User License Agreement.
6 Issue an
rpm –ihv
command on the rpm file.
7 Verify that the plugin path name is /usr/java/j2rel1.4.1_01/plugin/i386/ns4 (assuming that Netscape 4 is being used)
directory.
8 Edit the system profile (for example: /.profile or /etc/.profile) and include the plugin path and related export
command, for example (assuming that Netscape 4 is being used):
NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/java/j2rel1.4.1_01/plugin/i386/ns4
export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH
9 Logout and log back into the system.
10 To verify that the plugin path has been set up correctly, issue:
set | grep -i NPX
