NOTE:
The Windows X9000 client application can be started only by users with Administrative
privileges.
Status. Shows the client's management console registration status and mounted file systems,
and provides access to the IAD log for troubleshooting.
Registration. Registers the client with the management console, as described in the HP
StorageWorks File Serving Software Installation Guide.
Mount. Mounts a file system. Select the Cluster Name from the list (the cluster name is the
management console name), enter the name of the file system to mount, select a drive, and
then click Mount. (If you are using Remote Desktop to access the client and the drive letter
does not appear, log out and log back in.)
Umount. Unmounts a file system.
Tune Host. Tunable parameters include the NIC to prefer (the client uses the cluster interface
by default unless a different network interface is preferred for it), the communications protocol
(UDP or TCP), and the number of server threads to use.
Active Directory Settings. Displays current Active Directory settings.
Online help is also available for the client GUI.
X9000 Software manpages
X9000 Software provides manpages for most of its commands. To view the manpages, set the
MANPATH variable on the management console to include the path to the manpages and then
export it. The manpages are in the $IBRIXHOME/man directory. For example, if $IBRIXHOME is
/usr/local/ibrix (the default), you would set the MANPATH variable as follows on the
management console and then export the variable.
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/ibrix/man
Changing passwords
You may want to change the passwords on your system:
Hardware passwords. See the documentation for the specific hardware for more information.
Root password. Use the passwd(8) command on each server in turn.
X9000 Software user password. This password is created during installation and is used to
log on to the management console GUI. The default is ibrix. You can change the password
on the management console using the Linux passwd command. You will be prompted to enter
the new password.
# passwd ibrix
Configuring ports for a firewall
IMPORTANT:
during scheduled maintenance times.
When configuring a firewall, you should be aware of the following:
SELinux should be disabled.
By default, NFS uses random port numbers for operations such as mounting and locking.
These ports must be fixed so that they can be listed as exceptions in a firewall configuration

Getting started
To avoid unintended consequences, HP recommends that you configure the firewall
