Installing the SAN Explorer and Host Registration Service

The SAN Explorer software is only available for hosts running the Windows NT or
Windows 2000 operating systems. It allows viewing all connected Fibre Channel and
SCSI devices. In addition, you can update the code on all devices and view the LUN
mapping through switches to which your SNC may be attached. The software also has an
option that lets you choose to install the Host Registration Service for the Scalar Firewall
Manager.
See the readme file on the CD-ROM for installation instructions. For software updates,

Installing the Host Registration Service
The Host Registration Service for Scalar Firewall Manager provides the SNC with periodic
host status information including the host name, host type and HBA. It is available without
the SAN Explorer software for host operating systems other than Windows NT or
Windows 2000. Host information is sent over the host connection to the SNC. Once
installed, the service runs automatically and does not require further system administrator
interaction. From the ADIC Management Console, you can see the Fibre Channel or SCSI
port that the host is connected to and you can tell whether the host is on or offline.
The default period is set to send host status every 15 minutes. If you want, you can change
the period to any value between 1 and 255 minutes. See the readme file on the CD-ROM
in the HOSTSW folder for the specific host platform you are using. The readme file
contains the installation procedure and information about changing how often host status
information is sent.
For Windows NT and Windows 2000: See the readme file in the NT/HOSTSW folder
on the CD-ROM. The Host Registration Service installs as part of the SAN Explorer
executable. For software updates, visit "Service and Support" at www.adic.com.
For Solaris: A single program is provided for Solaris that runs from the command line or
by inclusion in a startup script. Installation is through a Solaris "package". See the readme
file in the SOLARIS/HOSTSW folder on the CD-ROM. For software updates, visit
"Service and Support" at www.adic.com.
