Navigating the ConfigTool
Host Discovery
The ATTO ConfigTool is able to discover hosts automatically,
as well as manually. A host will be discovered and displayed
in the
Adapter Listing
only if the system service is installed
and running on the host. A host that only has the GUI
Application installed will not be displayed in the
Adapter
Listing
.
Automatic Discovery
Hosts on the local subnet are automatically discovered and
placed into the
Adapter Listing
.
Manual Discovery
A host can be found manually by using the Network menu
and selecting “Find host”. The IP address or hostname of the
remote host is required.
Host Login Status
The GUI Application must login into each host before that
host can be managed or configured.
The GUI Application indicates the login status for a host as
follows:
•
A host that is not logged in will display the host icon
and the text as gray and italicized.
•
A host that is logged in will display the host icon with
a green background and black non-italicized text.
•
A host that was logged in but the host is rebooting
will display the host icon and text as gray and
italicized with a strike through.
Login to a Host
A login is started when the host's Adapter Listing tree is
expanded. A login dialogue box displays and you must enter
a username and password. The username and password of
an administrator for the host is required to proceed.
•
In Windows and macOS, the login information is
checked against any user in the Administrators group.
If three successive login attempts fail, the GUI Application
will be locked out from the host for three minutes.
Once a login is established, the icon of the host is
highlighted green and the text becomes black with normal
font.
