StorView RAID Module
2
All packets sent to the multicast address remain in the local network, unless an explicit server IP address
outside the subnet is added in the “Inter-Server Communication” Explicit StorView Server IPs >
Preference Settings,
see 4.7 ”Monitoring Settings” beginning on page 37. The inter-server
communication abilities provide StorView with remote monitoring of other installations of StorView and
their monitored storage solutions.
StorView has the ability to communicate with any StorView installation on the local network. These other
StorView server’s are displayed on the Main screen and are listed under the “Other Servers” section.
They display the IP address, name, and a overall status of that server’s monitored storage solution. They
indicate the status of a monitored server storage solution, by the server icon changing to one of a few
different states,
see 2.1.4 ”Server Sidebar and Top Section” beginning on page 17.
Each server sends a “check-in” packet in 10 second intervals. Once an initial check-in packet is received,
all StorView servers will know the existence of the other servers. If a server fails to send three check-in
packets, the other servers will mark that server as “missing.” This is indicated by a white “Server” icon
displayed on the Main screen under the “Other Servers” section.
When the server service that “owns” the monitored storage solution is down for any reason and three
check-in packets are not received, the monitoring will automatically be transferred to another StorView
server.
1.3 License Manager
StorView has two different licenses, a General Access License and the Feature License.
1.3.1 Access License Limits
The StorView General Access License which has different limits for the two RAID module versions of
StorView. The host-based version has Local Access and Global Access, and the embedded version has
Remote Access and Global Access. Refer to Section
4.2, ”Upgrading the Access License”, on page 27 .
The Local Access is the default license of the host-based software. It provides the basic control,
management and monitoring of the locally attached storage solution.
The Remote Access is the default license included with the embedded version. It provides the same
functions as the Local Access license except it adds support for server failover and remote login. Remote
Access does not support features such as E-Mail notices, SYSLOG, and SNMP, however it does offer
an upgrade path to the Global Access license.
The Global Access license is offered for the above systems through a licensing program and provides
the capabilities of the Local Access features plus remote login, configuration, and monitoring, and it
provides alert notifications via E-Mail, SYSLOG and SNMP. With Global’s remote login and
management, the user can focus or log-in to a different storage solution that is not locally attached to the
host, allowing you to manage and monitor other solutions from just one location.
