Opening the NPC
Utility (Notification
Processing Center)
When do You Need
It?
The Configuration Client utility (which allows you to configure notification
methods) is not available with the mode 3 installation scheme. With mode 3 installation,
arrays are accessed directly through network connections without installing
the manager software and utilities onto a server. To enable the event notification
capability, an NPC utility is automatically distributed to a disk array's reserved
space.
To Access the Utility:
1. Open a web browser program.
2. Enter "http://<controller IP>/configure.htm" in the web browser's URL field.
3. A safe content warning message might prompt. Click Yes to proceed.
4. The configuration utility
starts as a Java Applet.
SSL:
The initial screen defaults to the SSL option. Select the check box if you want
to enable SSL connection for the management session with the array. Note that
the configuration takes effect after you restart the management station.
