1.2 Startup Notes
Linux sg Driver
Use of the software on Linux requires the SCSI Generic (sg) driver to be loaded. If it does not
show up in the list generated by the
lsmod command, it can be inserted into the running kernel
by typing:
/sbin/modprobe sg.
To have the sg module loaded at boot time, add the following line to the
/etc/rc.local file:
/sbin/modprobe sg > /dev/null 2>&1
Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration
Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration must be disabled before using this
application. This can be done via the Windows Add/Remove Programs function.
Network Failover
If you are running the system with more than one network interface, failover will not occur if one
network port is disconnected/disabled. For failover to the other network interface you will need
to restart the StorView service.
