Management Interface
File System Factory™ is very powerful, but requires little in the way of management.
The following are operations that must be performed to manage a File System Factory™
installation:
•
Define Policies.
•
Associate Policies with objects in the tree.
•
Configure Parameters.
•
Perform backfill operations.
There are also some management tools available to help administrators track and report
statistics, activity and trends in the storage managed by File System Factory™. These are
available in the Admin Dashboard. There is also an Executive Dashboard designed to
provide access to reports and statistics from a separate interface for individuals who need
easy access to the data, but who don’t need daily access to the actual management of File
System Factory™. See Chapter 14, Executive Dashboard.
Accessing the Management Interface
File System Factory™ is managed using a browser. The management interface is
accessible through the NetWare Remote Manager (NRM) web portal that is available on
all NetWare 5.x and 6.x servers.
PORTAL.NLM provides the NRM interface. It runs on top of HTTPSTK.NLM, which
provides the communications layer. The File System Factory™ Engine also runs on top of
HTTPSTK.NLM, and is linked from the main menu of the NRM interface.
Be aware that in some versions of the NetWare Remote Management (Portal) interface,
you must login in order to see the “Manage” link under the File System Factory™ menu
item.
Access NetWare Remote Manager by going to the default page:
(Ex:
http://your.server.name.or.ip.address:8008
)
Via SSL:
(Ex:
https://your.server.name.or.ip.address:8009
)
