Re: [SAGE] Sun's Java Web Console

[Alexander Lobodzinski <lobo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

() I've just started playing a Sun StorageTek array. Much to my
() annoyance, the only way to manage it appears to require a machine
() hosting the Common Array Manager software. Which, at least on solaris,
() is a plugin for the java web console. 
() 
() Generally I've shied away from web consoles, preferring configuration
() files, version control, and change tracking. How do other people feel
() about sun's web console? I'd love to get a idea of how people feel
() about it.

I felt like you when I started looking at the array...  There
is some command-line tool which I couldn't get to work so I
figured the console would do the job which it did until now.
It's annoying to click through repetitive tasks like creating
a bunch of 1 disk LUNs (we let ZFS do the RAID) but that's not
supposed to hurt very oftenly.  Actually I only used the console
a few times out of curiosity once the array was up and running.

A funny thing is that one cannot login using the userids in
/etc/shadow because the Java console runs as non-root
(fortunately :-).
