This section shows how to install the remote management host software on hosts running an operating system other than Solaris.
It contains the following subsections:
The remote command-line interface (CLI) client enables you to configure and monitor the array from hosts other than the management host. You can run commands interactively from a remote client, or write a script to automate certain administrative tasks.
The remote CLI client is available for Windows, Red Hat Linux, AIX, and HP-UX operating environments.
|
Note - See the Sun StorageTek 6140 Array Release Notes for the operating system versions that are supported. |
For information about the remote CLI client commands, see the sscs(1M) man page.
The remote CLI client for operating systems other than Solaris is distributed from the Sun Download Center (SDLC).
|
Note - You do not need to download a remote CLI client for a SPARC/Solaris host. It is included on the host software CD. |
To download the software, follow these steps:
1. From the host on which you want to install the software, open a browser window and go to the Sun Download Center:
http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/sys_admin.html

6. For the AIX, HP-UX, or Linux operating system, follow these steps:
a. Click the file you want to download.
The web browser prompts you to download the file.
b. Download to any directory except /opt.
c. Save the installation package to a temporary working directory after you download it:
# cp install-package.tar.Z /directory
install-package is the name of the compressed .tar, file and directory is the name of the directory name to which you want to copy the package.
d. Change to the temporary directory:
|
Note - If checksum errors occur when you use a platform-specific tar, use the GNU version of tar. |
7. For the Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 operating systems, follow these steps:
a. Click the file you want to download.
The web browser prompts you to download the file.
c. Unzip Disk1.zip using any supported zip program.
d. Save the unzipped folder to any directory.
1. Download the software for the Windows host as described in Downloading the Software.
3. Read the license agreement and answer the licensing question.
If you accept the licensing agreement, the software is installed on the host.
4. From the Start menu, click Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
5. Add c:\Program Files\Sun Microsystems\SSCS to your command prompt path.
The remote CLI client is now installed, enabling you to enter sscs commands in the Command Prompt window. For information about the commands, see the sscs(1M) man page.
1. Download the remote CLI software for the appropriate operating system as described in Downloading the Software.
2. Log in as superuser (root).
3. Remove any aliases created for the environment (for example, cp="cp -i").
