NetApp DTA2800 BIOS Readme 4 of 7

1 Notes
This section provides notes for DTA Manager, a GUI tool used for managing the DTA2800
router. The notes are organized into the following categories:
General
Windows OS
Linux OS

1.1 General
The following general notes apply to DTA Manager for DTA2800:
For installation options and instructions, see the DTA2800 Data Transport Appliance
Installation Guide.
The DTA Manager for DTA2800 operation password default is config.

NOTE: To ensure security, you should change this password after installation.

To view the DTA Manager for DTA2800 help system, use one of the following browsers:
Internet Explorer® (version 6.0 or greater)
Firefox® (version 1.0 or greater)
Safari® (version 1.3 or greater)
To save system resources and address policy issues, DTA Manager for DTA2800
prevents connecting to the same host more than once. Therefore, all host IP addresses
must resolve to a host name to allow the connection to complete.
Set the video resolution to a minimum of 800x600 with a color palette of at least 256
colors.
Running DTA Manager for DTA2800 on an Itanium® I system hinders the tool
performance due to a Java® compatibility issue. This issue is not seen with Itanium II
systems.
If the system does not use DNS, you must edit the local host file on the system running
DTA Manager for DTA2800. Manually add the host name to IP mapping, as defined for
your operating system:
Windows®:
<install drive>:\\winnt\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts
Linux®:
/etc/hosts
Macintosh®:
/etc/hosts
The systems on both the host and router use two different measurement formats: decimal
(GB), which is used by Windows, and binary (Gb), which is used by Linux. Both Linux and
Windows provide the “correct” number.
Binary numbers are based on a power of 2.
Decimal numbers are based on a power of 10. 2^10 is 1,024; the closest decimal
number is 10^3 or 1,000 2^20 is 1,048,576; the closest decimal number is 10^6 or
1,000,000 2^30 is 1,073,741,824; the closest decimal number is 10^9 or
1,000,000,000.

1.2 Windows OS
The following notes apply to running DTA Manager for DTA2800 on a Windows system:
The administrator account password must not be blank when changing the DTA Manager
for DTA2800 password. This is a Windows Server 2003 security restriction.

1.3 Linux OS
The following notes apply to running DTA Manager for DTA2800 on a Linux system:
To run the IA-32 DTA Manager for DTA2800 installer under Linux x86_64 (EM64T), you
must install the IA-32 X11 libs. These libs are included in the xorg-x11-libs-
<version>.EL RPM. If the libs are missing, the system running DTA Manager displays
the following exception:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:
/tmp/install.dir.4191/Linux/resource/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.
so: libXext.
so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
When running DTA Manager for DTA2800 and connecting to a remote Red Hat® Linux
machine, you must modify the /etc/hosts files on the two machines to allow
asynchronous notifications from the agent to the GUI to operate correctly. To resolve this
issue, create a new entry with the host IP address assigned to ethx. Modify the existing
entry by moving the hostname from the localhost line to the newly-created line, as
shown in the following example.
Example:
Initial:
127.0.0.1 localhost runner.domain.com
Modified:
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.0.0.1 runner.domain.com
Linux 7.x and Advanced Server 2.1 include a secure portmapper. To enable remote
communication to work properly between DTA Manager and agents, add the statement
portmap:ALL to the /etc/hosts.allow file.
Before you can change the current DTA Manager password, you must shadow the
password option installed on your Linux machine. For example on a Linux 7.2 platform,
follow these steps to create the /etc/shadow file:
1. Install the shadow-utils Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) package from the
<Linux 7.2 CD-1> /RedHat/RPMS/shadow-utils-20000902-
4.i386.rpm.
2. To convert the passwords to shadow password format, go to the /etc
directory, and then issue the pwconv command.

2 Known Issues and Workarounds
In DTA Manager, double-clicking files when browsing for and selecting files (for example,
during a firmware update or FRU restore) may not work. If this occurs, select the
directory, and then click Open to traverse the directory or open a specific file.
Uninstalling the software does not remove some files and directories. You must manually
delete these files.
The Linux system displays the message, Warning: Cannot convert string "x"
to type VirtualBinding, when running either the GUI or the uninstaller. This is a
Java issue where the specified key mappings are already defined by the window
manager. You can ignore these warnings because they do not affect DTA Manager for
DTA2800 operation.
