Using the SANbox SSP Management GUI
The SANbox SSP Management GUI is supported on Microsoft Windows platforms
running Internet Explorer version 5 or greater. To run the SANbox SSP Management
GUI, Java WebStart must be installed on your management station. Java WebStart
is an application that allows you to download and run a full-featured Java application,
such as the SANbox SSP Management GUI, directly from a web page.
SANbox SSP simplifies the task of configuring the management station by
automatically detecting whether Java WebStart needs to be installed when the
management station first accesses SANbox SSP. If Java WebStart is not present
on the management station, SANbox SSP can provide a copy of the application
that you can download and install. See "To install Java WebStart:" on page 4-2 and
"To download the SANbox SSP Management GUI from a web browser:" on page 4-3
for more information.
Once you've installed the WebStart application, the web console enables you to
access the SANbox SSP Management GUI remotely using your standard web
browser. For web browsers already running Sun's Java WebStart application, skip
the next two sections and see "To log into the SANbox SSP Management GUI:" on
page 4-4.
NOTE: Sun Microsystems provides versions of Java WebStart for Windows and
other platforms through its Java website. You may be able to use the
SANbox SSP Management GUI from non-Windows management
stations using a version of Java WebStart provided by Sun; however,
QLogic only supports the use of the SANbox SSP Management GUI on
Windows platforms running Internet Explorer version 5 or greater in
conjunction with the version of the Java WebStart application provided
with your SANbox SSP.
To install Java WebStart:
For web browsers on Windows platforms that are already running Sun's Java
WebStart application, see the next section “Using the Web Console” instead. For
web browsers on Windows platforms that do not yet have Sun's Java WebStart
application installed, follow this procedure:
1. From a web browser, enter the management port (labeled ) IP address as
the URL and press the Enter key.
2. In the screen that displays, click Here is a local copy for Windows users to
install the Sun Java WebStart Application on your machine.
3. The License Agreement dialog box displays. In the License Agreement dialog
box, click Accept to begin software installation.
