1.1 Overview
StorView
®
Storage Management software is a full-featured graphical HTML-based software suite
designed to configure, manage, and monitor storage subsystems. StorView is built on a modular design
and currently supports the RAID Module. Other modules available in the future are separately
documented.
The RAID Module provides an extensive set of configuration and management tools. StorView’s RAID
Module is available in two versions: host-based and embedded. The host-based version is installed on
the host computer system, while the embedded version is installed on the RAID Controller.
StorView’s server component discovers storage solutions, manages and distributes message logs, and
communicates with other server components installed on the same local network and external subnet
networks. StorView has an HTML-based front end, accessed with a web browser, and provides the
interface to the end user.
StorView incorporates web server software as part of the installation, Apache 2.0, which provides the
interface between the server component and HTML interface. During installation the web server is
automatically configured and requires no further management.The installation of the web server software
is self contained and will not conflict with other web server software currently installed on your system.
1.2 Inter-Server Communication
1.2.1 Multicast
StorView’s server component uses multicasting technology to provide inter-server communication with
other servers when the Global Access license is installed. During the server’s initial start-up, it performs
a multicast registration using the default multicast IP address of 225.0.0.225 on port 9191. Once
registration is complete, the server is able to receive all packets sent to the multicast address.
