Installation
============
1) Install the Java run-time environment and add it to the environment path, the package should be available with the OS or can be downloaded from the NetWare support Website.  

2.) Switch to GUI screen (KDE/GNOME etc) as the installation will only work on X-Terminal screens.

3.) Mount the CD where you have installation file (*.jar) is located.

4.) At the shell prompt, 
	type “java –jar [cd mount point]/installation file”. 
	e.g.  java  –jar  /mnt/cdrom/1.426-00-1.jar”

5) It is expected that the driver is installed in systems where the “RAID Server” (the remote RAID management agent.) module is being installed. 

6) Follow the screen prompts.


Fixes/Updates
==============

-Support added for updated JRE
-Webserver does not load on reboot, corrected to reference startupsvr.ncf.    

Known Restrictions
==================
The current limitations in Browser of Novell Netware are:
1. Sometimes (at some un-predictable times, once in twenty tries(?))  one of the frames of MCC might pop up as a new window. We cannot prevent it, but we detect the condition, and give a message:
”webConsole: To continue, please close this window”, and then a “close window” message comes, and the user can safely close the window and continue with the rest of the session.  Once in a blue moon ( we have never seen this happen, and no tester reported this either, but its theoretically possible) the window that pops up might be an essential part of webConsole, and webConsole might not be able to continue. Again, this is a very remote possibility. If that happens, user would have to start a new webConsole session.
 
2. Sometimes (again about once in about 20 times) a script error message might come. It comes only once, and after OK is pressed, the user can continue with the rest of the session. Again, there is a very remote possibility that webConsole might not be able to continue after this happens, but I have never seen this, nor have anybody reported it.

3. Incorrect “Power Cycle” and “Power-on-minutes” display in “Enclosure Properties” page.  We have found that some of the enclosure boxes do not implement the command to get these values. However, it returns success and sends wrong values. We may have to be remove the display of these properties in the next release of webConsole. 

4. Text that describes the operations to be done in each step during “Config Wizard” needs correction.
	Will be done in next Release of webConsole.

Information below lists all the features of Intel(r) RAID Web Console and 
their requirements.

NOTE: Features are from the user's point of view and may consist of one or
more components. 

RAID Web Server:
	There is no requirement for installing Web Server. Web Server is 
installed in sys:\PUBLIC\MCC directory. JRE 1.3.x or above is required. The 
Web Server files are simply copied to sys:\PUBLIC\MCC directory.

Registration Server:
	TCP Stack needs to be up and running for Registration Server to 
function. RegSvr file will be copied to SYS:\PUBLIC\MCC directory.  Default 
Registration server name is "localhost".

RAID Server:
	RAID server and its sub features can be installed only if RAID card 
is found and driver is loaded. 
	
2. Installation Steps:

a.  Please insure that JVM is installed(jvm141sp1.exe file is supplied along
    with the release of RWC under the folder called jvm) and path system 
    variable is updated with JRE location. User .jar file to install 
    RAID Web Console Package.
Installing NJVM
===============
1)Close the NetWare GUI if it is running.
2)Attach to the target servers(Windows Client Workstation) as a user with 
  administrator rights to   the SYS: volume.
3)On Novell system, type "java -exit".
4) mount the CD on Novell system.
5)Run NJVM self-extracting executable file on the Windows Client Workstation. 
6)This expands the archive and launches the InstallShield installation script.
7)At the Welcome screen, click Next.
8)Accept the license agreement. 
9)At the Installation Components screen, click Next.
10)At the Installation Requirements and Information screen, review the 
   installation prerequisites and product compatibility issues, then 
   click Next.
11)At the Destination Servers for Installation screen, select the servers 
   you want to install    NJVM on and click Next.
12)If xinit.nlm, java.nlm, or xlib.nlm is still loaded, an alert screen 
   appears, if the Alert    screen appears, close the NetWare GUI.
13)InstallShield displays an installation progress bar. 
14)The installation process copies the java.zip file to the destination 
   servers and unzips the file on each server.
15)Confirm that installation completes successfully.  
16)On Novell system, type "restart server".



b. Raid Web Console Installation Steps:
   1) switch to GUI screen. 
   2) Copy netware<package version>.jar(where as netware will remain same 
      and version number of the package will be changed) into a directory. 
   3) Change to above directory where you store .jar file to.  
   4) At the shell prompt, type "java -jar netware<package ver.>.jar" to run
      installation thru GUI installation or type java -jar netware<package 
      ver.>.jar -console or -silent to go thru non-GUI instllation .
   5) Click finish when installation completes.

Raid Web Console Uninstalling Steps:
    Switch to GUI screen.
    At the shell prompt, type 
     java jar Sys:\PUBLIC\MCC\_uninst\uninstall.jar".


NOTE:
Intel(r) RAID Web Console Installation does not support component updates 
currently. One must uninstall a feature and reinstall that particular 
feature.


3. Reconfiguring Web Server and RAID Servers:
   There are two ways to run Intel(r) RAID Web Console. First is locally, 
   where all the components are in a single machine. The other is where there
   are multiple systems running RAID Servers in the network. Following 
   description applies to both. Running locally must be treated as a special 
   case of the former.  Installation will install component based upon user's 
   choice whether they want to install "standalone" or "networking". Installation  
   starts RAID Server, Registration Server and RAID Server automatically 
   depending up on user's choice.

  * Web Server is UNAWARE of registration server. It knows only about RAID 
    Servers.
  * RAID Servers are UNAWARE of Web Server. They know only about Registration
    Server.
  * Registration Server is UNAWARE of both - Web Server and RAID Servers.

Follow these steps to configure Web Server and RAID Servers.
INSTALLATION DOES THESE STEPS AUTOMATICALLY DURING INSTALLATION DEPENDING UP 
ON USER'S CHOICE.

* There must be only one Registration Server running in the network. It can
  co-exist with either Web Server or any RAID Server. Of course, in the LOCAL
  (standalone) setup, all the components run on a same machine.

* Registration Server must be running before the RAID Servers are started. 
  Registration Server can be started by typing /usr/sbin/RegSvr at the prompt. 
  (/usr/sbin/RegSvr -stop to stop).  Installation does this automatically 
  before completing installation. 

* First task is to make a RAID Server become aware of the Registration Server.
  To do this:

a. Registration Server:

   * Open SYS:\etc\regserv.dat
   * Type either the IP or the name of the server running the Registration 
     Server.
   * If you are using the name instead of IP, make sure the name is 
     resolvable. (Try pinging the server using name).
   * If the name is not resolved, you can add the name to "hosts" file. 
     (/etc/hosts)
   * If everything is running locally, you may type "localhost" or 
     127.0.0.1 in the first line of SYS:\etc\regserv.dat
   * The above steps must be done in each machine where RAID Server is 
     running. Once that is done, all RAID Servers may be started. To start a 
     RAID Server type sys:\PUBLIC\MCC\RAIDSERV.nlm at the prompt. 
     (Type sys:\PUBLIC\MCC\StopServer to stop a RAID Server)

b. Web Server:
   * Now Web Server must be made to point at any of the RAID Servers. 
     To do this:
   * Open the file sys:\PUBLIC\MCC\mcc.properties
   * This file contains many NAME=VALUE pairs.
   * Locate the name "RAID_SERVER_NAME"
   * Type either the name or IP of a RAID Server.
   * If you are using the name, make sure it is resolvable. (Try pinging the 
     machine using the name).
   * If the name is not resolved, you can add the name to "hosts" file. 
     (/etc/hosts)
   * If everything is running locally, you may type RAID_SERVER_NAME=localhost
   * Now start the Web Server by typing "sh sys:\PUBLIC\MCC\startup.ncf".
   * To stop Web Server type "sh SYS:\PUBLIC\MCC\shutdown.ncf".


4. How to set & modify Full Access Password:

   * Password must be set on every machine that runs RAID Server (RAIDSERV). 
   * To set the password for the first time, type C:/NWSERVER/SetPass.nlm at 
     the shell prompt. 
   * SetPass utility prompts user to enter a new password and confirm it. 
   * Length of the password must not be more than 40 characters.
   * If a password has already been set, then SetPass allows a user to modify 
     it.
   * Password is maintained in the file /etc/raidpass.val
   * Password needs to be set every time you uninstall and install Intel(r) 
     RAID Web Console

5. Miscellaneous points:

   * log files (RSMessages.log & PollMessages.log) are created in the 
     directory /var/log 
   * SYS:\PUBLIC\MCC\RAIDSERV -ver will now print version information.
   * Starting from Version 1.21-1, a new facility to limit the size of log 
     files is added.
 
   * This is basically an INF kind of file with parameters in the form of  
     NAME=VALUE.
   * The NAME "max_log" specifies the maximum size (in bytes) up to which a 
     log file can grow.
   * RAID Server periodically examines the file size and trims the file to 
     half the maximum size set. For example, if the maximum size is 2MB, then
     when the file crosses 2MB, it is truncated to roughly 1MB size. 
     The default value is 1MB.
   * The NAME "trim_interval" specifies the length of the period after which 
     next size check for trimming is scheduled. The default value is 120 
     minutes.
   * The oldest messages are deleted first.
