Starting SANscape

NOTE: You must be a superuser/administrator to run the SANscape Console.

NOTE: Because the SANscape Console does not receive event alerts unless it is running, after configuring the array, always leave SANscape running in its minimized mode on the SANscape Console workstation.

Solaris/Linux/HP-UX/IBM AIX Operating System

  1. At the command prompt, type

    ssconsole

Microsoft Windows Operating System

For Windows NT or 2000, select Start > Programs > Dot Hill SANscape > SANscape Console.

For Windows 2003, select Start > All Programs > Dot Hill SANscape > SANscape Console.

Main Window Before and After First Use

When SANscape initializes for the first time, the main window is blank. The Add Server window is then displayed, enabling you to add servers to the Managed Servers list of the SANscape Console you are using. For details on adding servers, see Adding a Server.

Whenever you start SANscape after the first time and after you have selected Managed Servers, the main window does display server icons for the servers on the Managed Servers list. Click OK or Cancel to continue.

After a new array is configured and the workstation is booted up, the program might not see the storage unit until the logical drives are labeled.

On UNIX systems, if the SANscape Console locks up during use, you can stop SANscape, and then close and reopen the window without affecting SANscape.

To Stop SANscape

  1. At the command prompt, type

    ssconsole stop

  2. Run the program again. The window is displayed again without SANscape being affected.
