Installing Software on a Remote Client
Note:
You must have the proper level of Adaptec CI/O Man-
agement Software password authorization if you want to
add and delete arrays and spares from a networked client.
The default password is “adaptec.” See the Adaptec CI/O
Management Software User’s Guide for information on setting
security options.
Hints for Establishing Communications With Your Server
Communication with the server via the network must be established
prior to installing the Adaptec CI/O Management Software on a
networked client. The following information is provided to help you
set up proper communication:
TCP/IP Networks
■
When installing your TCP/IP software (not provided by
Adaptec), follow the installation instructions provided with
your TCP/IP software. You will be asked to enter information
such as IP address, host name, host file, etc.
■
The TCP/IP stack uses the host name from TCP/IP setup.
SPX/IPX Networks
■
On an SPX/IPX network, make sure to install the NetWare
Client Software for Windows (provided by Microsoft). During
installation, certain DLLs required by the Adaptec CI/O Man-
agement Software are installed.
■
The host name is identified through the
SET RPCHOST=
environment variable. You can enter this variable through the
setup process, or you can manually add it to the
autoexec.bat
file.
Note:
Under dual stack situations, we recommend using the
same host name for both TCP/IP and SPX/IPX to minimize
any naming confusion.
