ServerView RAID Manager Version 7 ServerView RAID Manager is designed by Fujitsu to offer a vendor independant RAID management and monitoring solution. A Web based user interface lets administrators easily configure all aspects of the available RAID implementation. For scripting purposes a command line interface is provided. For managing purposes a logon with user accounts having Administrator privileges is necessary. Other logon's allow read-only access to the information. In addition ServerView RAID Manager can participate in ServerView's Single Sign On environment. ServerView RAID Manager has to be installed on the managed server or on a Central Management Station to connect to VMware's ESXi servers. Before manually installing ServerView RAID Manager, please de-install other RAID management software, e.g. GAM, MSM, PAM, RAIDXpert or ASMBE. Windows Platform: Installation package for 64bit Windows is available. IA64 is not supported. Update installations from ServerView RAID Manager version 2.0 to 5 are not supported. Windows Server 2012 and newer: ServerView RAID Manager certificate in Windows Server 2012 can be installed in "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" Store only. Linux Platform: The installation package supports 64bit Linux. IA64 is not supported. Use ServerView_RAID-x.xx-xx.i686.rpm for installation Note: Red Hat EL3/EL4/EL5, SuSE SLES8/SLES9/SLES10, VMware ESX Server, and Windows 2000 are not supported by ServerView RAID Manager version 7. Adaptec 2200S, 2120S, 2020ZCR are not supported by ServerView RAID Manager version 7. ServerView: If ServerView RAID Manager and ServerView Agents (Windows, Linux/VMware) will be used together at least the following version are required: ServerView Agents Windows >= 4.81-04 ServerView Agents Linux >= 4.81-08 It is recommened to use versions 9.00-xx or newer. JAVA for SVRM UI manual Old SVRM UI requires JAVA. Due to fact that SVRM will no longer be running in web browser, JAVA must be installed by the customer and a special environment variable - “SVRM_JAVA_PATH” must be created for SVRM. The script that will be running SVRM in JAVA container is looking for “SVRM_JAVA_PATH” variable in order to determine if there is JAVA installed and can be used. If it cannot find this variable or finds it empty, it will return error and not start old SVRM UI. Version of JAVA does not really matter, however it is recommended to use version 1.7.0 or later. Place where JAVA is installed / copied is also not important. I recommend to use default directory. If JAVA is already installed, create a “SVRM_JAVA_PATH” variable with path to it. Environment variable on Windows: To create new environment variable you must be logged in as Administrator and follow steps below: 1. Press Win key 2. Type “environment” 3. Choose “Edit the system environment variables” from the list 4. In “System properties” click “Environment variables…” on the bottom of the window 5. In “System variables” section, click “New” button 6. As “Variable name” enter “SVRM_JAVA_PATH” 7. As “Variable value” enter path to “bin” folder in JAVA location e.g.: “C:\Program Files\JAVA\JAVAversion\bin” 8. Reboot system If environment variable was created correctly and JAVA is installed, SVRM UI will start without any problems. In case of any problems with SVRM UI not starting, check if path in “SVRM_JAVA_PATH” variable is correct, it must lead to “bin” folder where java.exe and javaw.exe files are placed. Starting SVRM: There will be a shortcut in Start menu, Fujitsu folder. Just run it from there - RAID Manager JAVA. Environment variable on Linux: RHEL system: To create new environment variable you must be logged in as root and follow steps below: 1. Open Terminal 2. Edit file /etc/bashrc, you can use any text editor 3. Add line “export SVRM_JAVA_PATH=/path/to/java/folder/bin” (if to copy JAVA from tar.gz, put it in place where users have READ permission) e.g.: export SVRM_JAVA_PATH=/opt/AdoptJAVA/jdk8u192/bin 4. Save file 5. Close Terminal for changes to take effect SLES system: To create new environment variable you must be logged in as root and follow steps below: 1. Open Terminal 2. Edit file /etc/profile, you can use any text editor 3. Add line “export SVRM_JAVA_PATH=/path/to/java/folder/bin” (if to copy JAVA from tar.gz, put it in place where users have READ permission) e.g.: export SVRM_JAVA_PATH=/opt/AdoptJAVA/jdk8u192/bin 4. Save file 5. Logout for changes to take effect If environment variable was created correctly and JAVA is installed, SVRM UI will require to add permission for non-root users which will be using it. Permissions: By default, SVRM allows to log in for non-root users assigned to group “raid-usr” (only monitoring access) or “raid-adm” (full access). Both groups are not created during installation of SVRM and must be created manually. {group} refers to default groups, “raid-usr” and “raid-adm”. To be able to start SVRM GUI app for non-root account / user from “raid-usr” or “raid-adm” group, assign permissions as below. If there were groups already created in the past and they have other names due to .ini file custom changes, please assign permissions according to the level of access that each of them had. NOTE: paths in point 2, 3, 4 are default paths where SVRM is installed from RPM package! 1. Open Terminal 2. To change owner’s group, type: “chown root:{group} /opt/fujitsu/ServerViewSuite/ /opt/fujitsu/ServerViewSuite/RAIDManager/ /opt/fujitsu/ServerViewSuite/RAIDManager/web/ /opt/fujitsu/ServerViewSuite/RAIDManager/web/public/ /opt/fujitsu/ServerViewSuite/RAIDManager/web/public/SJT /opt/fujitsu/ServerViewSuite/RAIDManager/web/public/SJT/*.*” This will grant access for users from {group} to folders leading to SJT folder, including all .jar files in it. The permissions inherited during installation are sufficient, there is no need to change them. Starting SVRM: SVRM can be started by typing “svrmGUI” in Terminal. All users can run SVRM, but only those assigned to {group} can log in. In case of any problems with SVRM UI not starting, check if path in “SVRM_JAVA_PATH” variable is correct, it must lead to “bin” folder where java and javac files are placed. If there are more problems, especially “ERROR: Could not find or load main class …” please check if all permissions were granted and users are assigned to proper groups. Connecting to local / remote host (Windows + Linux): Script created to run old SVRM UI in JAVA container allows connection to local or remote host. It will display instructions how to connect. "Press ENTER to connect with ServerView Raid from this Device. Type an IP or Hostname for connection to ServerView Raid on other Devices". To connect to localhost, press ENTER. To connect to remote machine, provide IP address or hostname and press ENTER. Do not add "http://", "https://" at the begining or ": (port number)" at the end. If IP address / hostname is correct and if there is SVRM installed you will be connected, otherwise you will receive an error. Example: Press ENTER to connect with ServerView Raid from this Device. Type an IP or Hostname for connection to ServerView Raid on other Devices 10.100.169.9 (press ENTER)
