The Storage Device Launcher application is required to run HDvM - SN with Adobe AIR from HARMAN. Storage Device Launcher is included in the Web Console Launcher setup file on the SVP. Use the following procedure to install Storage Device Launcher on the management client.

Note: If you are using one management client to access multiple storage systems, you only need to install Storage Device Launcher on the management client once.
  • You must have the model identification number of the storage system. The model identification number is the same as the folder name of the SVP firmware installation directory.
    Example: C:\Mapp\wk\936000400001
    • In this example, the 12-digit character string 936000400001 is the model identification number. The last 6 digits indicate the serial number of the storage system.
    • C:\Mapp is the default installation directory for the SVP firmware. The location of the installation directory depends on the conditions specified when the SVP firmware was installed.

    If multiple storage systems are registered on the SVP, you can use the model identification number of any storage system whose SVP firmware version supports AIR.

  1. Download the Web Console Launcher setup file for Windows from the SVP to the management client.
    • If you can log in to HDvM - SN by using a web browser, click Tool > Download in the HDvM - SN menu bar, and then download the Web Console Launcher setup file for Windows (WCLauncher_win.zip).
    • If you cannot log in to HDvM - SN by using a web browser, open the download the Web Console Launcher setup file as follows:

        https://IP-address-or-host-name-of-SVP/sanproject/ToolDownload/serial-number-of-storage-system
        If you changed the port number of the protocol HTTPS from the initial value (443 by default), specify the following URL:
        https://IP-address-or-host-name-of-SVP:port-number-of-protocol-HTTPS/sanproject/ToolDownload/serial-number-of-storage-system
        Note: If the SVP firmware version is earlier than 93-02-02 or 88-06-02, enter the following URL instead:
        https://IP-address-or-host-name-of-SVP(:port-number-of-protocol-HTTPS)/dev/storage/model-identification-number/htdocs/tool/tooldownload.html
        After the download page opens, go to step (c).
