Re: RAID Web Console 2 login problem

I believe that I have resolved this issue. Specific for Tim here is an excerpt of the install procedure that addresses his issue:

Next is making sure the credentials will work from another PC by running the password shadow file creation command.

At the prompt type "pwconv" (no quotes)

After you have done this you should be able to log into the RWC from another PC by installing the RWC software on it and connecting to the IP address of the XenServer.

For all others please find below a Procedure to Install Raid Web Console 2 on Xenserver v6.0.0.0562p:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Procedure to Install Raid Web Console 2 on Xenserver v6.0.0.0562p

(No warranty expressed or implied – Worked for me, may crash everything for you – Make good backups!!!!!)

Log into the XenServer Console and at prompt type:

wget http://downloadmirror.intel.com/18441/eng/ir3_Linux_RWC2_v11.06.00-05.zip

[this will download the RaidWeb2 installer]

Next extract the file:

unzip ir3_Linux_RWC2_v11.06.00-05.zip

[this will unzip several files into the root directory]

Next you need to install tcsh so that the install scrip is executable.

Run the following command to download the install file:

wget ftp://ftp.icm.edu.pl/vol/rzm2/linux-scientificlinux/55/i386/updates/fastbugs/tcsh-6.14-17.el5_5.2.i386.rpm

[this will download the tsch installer]

Then install the tsch with the following command:

rpm -ivh tcsh-6.14-17.el5_5.2.i386.rpm

[this will install the tcsh shell software]

Next you need to change the permissions on one of the install scripts by executing the following command:

chmod u+rwx RunRPM.sh

Next you have to execute the install script with the following command:

tcsh install.csh

You will be asked to accept the EULA agreement by typing "Y"

I would select option "1" for a full install.

YOu SHould then see the installer execute as seen in the message below:

----------------------------------Msg Start---------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------Msg End---------------------------------------------------------------

The SNMP Agent appears to fail but this did not effect my ability to use the program.

Next you will need to open up the communications ports that are blocked so that you can connect to the RWC from another computer.

There are two ways of accomplishing this:

1. By opening the firewall ports with the following commands:

iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 3071 -j ACCEPT

iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 5571 -j ACCEPT

2. By Utilizing the lokkit command in XenServer and disabling the firewall

Type "lokkit" (no quotes) at the prompt and then selecting disabled on the menu and then selecting OK.

Next is making sure the credentials will work from another PC by running the password shadow file creation command.

At the prompt type "pwconv" (no quotes)

After you have done this you should be able to log into the RWC from another PC by installing the RWC software on it and connecting to the IP address of the XenServer.

When asked for the user-name and password:

User = root (unless you have made some extreme changes to the XenServer Install)

PW = whatever the root password is that you setup during the Xenserver Install

I successfully executed the method above on my own XenServer v6.0.0.0562p and am currently able to connect from a windows XP workstation.

The install has persisted through multiple reboots of the XenServer.

I have been able to run commands against the drives in the RAID via the Java based RWC, although, the command set does seem abbreviated versus the one available in the actual RAID Card GUI. This may be a RAID Card Firmware issue, however.

As a last note I found the below web page that list a large number of commands that can be run in the Linux Console to gather information form the RAID Card Via the MegaCli Program this is installed when installing the RWC.

http://tools.rapidsoft.de/perc/perc-cheat-sheet.html

You will need to use the following syntax to execute the commands:

/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli [Insert Command Line Switches Here] (see example below)

Example Check Status Commands:

/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli -LDInfo -Lall -aALL

/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli -CfgDsply -aALL

/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli -PdList -aAll

Last you can clean up the files that were downloaded/unzipped if you need to keep things tidy.

Thanks for the response,

However, the install.csh script does not run under my current version of Xenserver. I took the liberty of installing tcsh on the version of Linux that is running in the Xenserver via the following commands:

wget ftp://ftp.icm.edu.pl/vol/rzm2/linux-scientificlinux/55/i386/updates/fastbugs/tcsh-6.14-17.el5_5.2.i386.rpm

rpm -ivh tcsh-6.14-17.el5_5.2.i386.rpm

I was then able to execute the install.csh via the command:

tcsh install.csh

At that point the EULA was displayed and I said Y. I then chose option 1 for a complete install. This began but immediately returned the following error:

Setup Type :1
Starting complete installation of RAID Web Console 2 11.06.00-05....
./RunRPM.sh: Permission denied.

Any further suggestions?

Thanks,

Topaz

A quick update:

I found that if I run the following command:

chmod u+rwx RunRPM.sh

Then the installer will run. It goes through with the following information displayed:

Setup Type :1

I don't know if the snmp trap is important for it to run. I will continue testing and let you know if the console now works.

Tim

I would greatly appreciate any additional information you have regarding how you accomplished steps 1-6. I have installed RWC11 via the following commands:

wget http://downloadmirror.intel.com/18441/eng/ir3_Linux_RWC2_v11.06.00-05.zip

unzip ir3_Linux_RWC2_v11.06.00-05.zip

rpm -ivh Lib_Utils-1.00-09.noarch.rpm

rpm -ivh Lib_Utils2-1.00-01.noarch.rpm

rpm -ivh MegaCli-8.02.14-1.i386.rpm

rpm -qil MegaCli

rpm -ivh RAID_Web_Console_2-11.06.00-05.noarch.rpm

I also opened what I believe are the correct ports but I cannot even get a login.

Ports Opened via the following commands:

iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 3071 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 5571 -j ACCEPT

It seems the the processes required are running but I cannot seem to connect to the RWC from a separate machine.

I can quiry the status of the RAID card locally using the MegaCli Commands as follows:

Check Status

/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli -LDInfo -Lall -aALL

/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli -CfgDsply -aALL

/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli -PdList -aAll

I have read some documentation regarding the need for setting up entries in the host file of the PC I am connecting from. I have attempted to put that info in correctly but still no luck.

Any help would be gratly appreciated.

Thanks,

Topaz
