The Sun StorEdge 6130 array software is delivered on compact disk (CD) and consists of:
You specify the functionality you require, and the compact CD installs the necessary software.
The Sun StorEdge 6130 array web-based management software is the primary interface for configuring and managing the array. The management software consists of a suite of tools that you install on an external management host. The management host must be a Sun workstation running the Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 Operating System (OS).
The management software enables the storage administrator to manage the Sun StorEdge 6130 array from any system with a web browser that is on the same network as the management host. For a list of supported browsers, see the Sun StorEdge 6130 Array Release Notes.
The management software, labelled SE6130 Configuration Service in the graphical user interface (GUI), provisions and maintains the storage for data hosts.
You can also manage and configure storage for the Sun StorEdge 6130 array using the remote command line interface (CLI) client. The CLI provides the same control and monitoring capability as the web browser, and it is also scriptable for running frequently performed tasks.
The remote CLI client is available for Solaris operating system (OS) and several other operating systems. See the Sun StorEdge 6130 Array Release Notes for a list of supported operating system platforms. For more information about the CLI commands, see the sscs
man page.
The Sun Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment is a monitoring and diagnostic tool for the array. You can configure the software to monitor on a 24-hour basis, collecting information that enhances the reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) of the Sun StorEdge 6130 array.
The Sun Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment can be accessed from a web browser or from the command line. It automates the transmission of alerts, which can be sent to an email address, to a pager, or to diagnostic software running on a management host on the network.
The monitoring software records alerts and notifications. You can monitor events and alerts by displaying the log file. You can also set up event notification so that notifications of actionable events are sent to your email address or pager.
The Sun StorEdge 6130 array data host software controls the data path between the data host and the array. The data host software consists of the following tools:
Data host software enables Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 workstations and other operating system platforms to communicate with the Sun StorEdge 6130 array. For a list of supported operating system platforms, see the Sun StorEdge 6130 Array Release Notes.
Data host software for Solaris is distributed on the Sun StorEdge 6130 Host Software Installation CD. You can also obtain the software for other operating systems from Sun's Download Center.
You can also purchase the following software for use on hosts with data paths or network connections to the array:
You can manage the array using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) web interfaces. For management and monitoring of storage. HTTPS is primarily for web browsers. This interface is protected by passwords and data encryption. The remote command line interface (CLI) client on a management host also uses this service.
