JMR Storage Manager Window
When the JMR Storage Manager is launched, the following Storage Manager
Window is the first window displayed (see
Figure 32 ). After several seconds the
Global View window (see Figure 33 ) will appear where you can click on a system
icon to access the system to be managed. Once you choose a server, the login
screen will appear. There are two methods to reach a login screen. For security
purposes you are required to enter a username and password in the login window
for the storage system (see
Figure 34 ).
The JMR Storage System uses a Service Location Protocol (SLP) auto discovery
process to advertise the available systems over the network. JMR Storage
Manager listens for these advertisements to build the global view of auto-
discovered storage systems. You can review the system icons to choose a server.
JMR Storage Manager will only pickup advertisements if the storage systems are
within the network’s multicast domain. If the storage system is beyond the SLP
advertising range, and if you know the specific IP address, you can use the
Application drop menu and select Connect to New System (see
Figure 33 ).
