Module Objectives
Upon completion of this module, the learner should be able to:
Configure Java to allow the Web Tool to load microcode/firmware to an Adaptable Modular Storage 2000 family system

Update the microcode/firmware and/or initialize the system

Function of the Web Tool Utility

Provides a convenient browser type interface Communicates with an HTTP server in the modular storage system, and becomes operational after powering on the system

Can operate in normal or maintenance mode

Normal mode is a read-only mode Maintenance mode allows configuration changes to be made Maintenance mode requires a user ID and password Functionally overlaps with Storage Navigator Modular 2 (SNM2) Is required for initial setup, initial IP address, and setting serial number Note: When used for loading microcode, a JRE and Java applet is required

Version 1.6.0 or above.
