Setting up Remote Web Console
This topic provides Remote Web Console requirements and set up procedures.
Setup workflow
The following workflow describes the set up tasks for Remote Web Console:
• The Hewlett Packard Enterprise representative attaches the SVP in your storage system to the LAN.
Remote Web Console is already set up on the SVP and is therefore ready for access by client
computers.
• Ensure the correct LAN cabling and connections are in place. See
on page 12.
• Set up network connections. See
on page 12, as needed. Also, you
can set up additional communications security for remote operations with Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL). See
on page 13
• Set up the Remote Web Console computer(s). See
Setting up the client computer
on page 21.
Setting up and managing user accounts
on page 42.
• Configure Remote Web Console environment. See
Configuring the Remote Web Console
on page 65.
• Install license keys for any software applications that are installed on the system. See
on page 75.
Requirements for the various elements are included in the following topics.
Cable connection requirements
Ensure that the following LAN cable and connection requirements are met:
• Thinnet coaxial cable. For twisted-pair connections, contact Hewlett Packard Enterprise Technical
Support for assistance.
• The total length of the LAN cables must not be greater than 185 meters (607 feet).
Enabling IPv6 communication
If Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) addresses are used in the storage system LAN, you may need to
enable IPv6 communication on the SVP. For Windows 7 and Solaris 10, you can enable IPv4 (standard)
communication, IPv6 communication, or both. You determine which protocol to use based on the IP
addresses that are used within the LAN. Use the same communication options for or both the Remote
Web Console computer and the SVP.
If you use IPv6 to display the Remote Web Console main window when both IPv4 and IPv6 are available,
IPv6 addresses are displayed in the Remote Web Console secondary window but actually IPv4
communication is used.
For information on how to configure IP communication from an SVP, contact the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise technical support. The following topics give brief instructions on configuring IPv6
communication in Windows 7 and Solaris 10 environments.
