About ApplianceView
With ApplianceView, you can access all the Storageflex NAS Appliances on your
network through a single management tool. ApplianceView installs on any
Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X based computer.
Installing ApplianceView on Client PCs
Install ApplianceView on any Windows 98/2000/NT/XP, Linux or Mac OS X PCs
that you will use to configure and manage Appliances. If you are running
Windows NT, 2000, or XP, you may probably need to log in as a user with
administrative privileges before installing the software.
To install ApplianceView on a client PC:
1. Insert the ApplianceView CD-ROM in the CD drive of the client PC.
2. For Linux/Power PC installation, please use the Java Runtime Environment 1.3.1
package provided by your Linux distribution vendor. Do not forget to check (and
add if required) a path to your installation of Java Runtime Environment within
the system PATH variable on Windows or Linux.
3. - On Windows systems, run the setup.exe file from CD.
- On Linux (x86) systems, run the setup.bin file from CD.
- On Linux (PowerPC) systems, run the setup.bin file from the “novm” folder
of client CD. Please make sure that you have JRE 1.3.1 for PowerPC installed
before running ApplianceView installer.
- On Mac OS X, drag the setup.zip file from CD onto your desktop, and
double-click it; the StuffIt! Expander will start. After it quits, the Setup icon
on your Desktop appears; please double-click it.

ApplianceView configuration manager installs on your computer.
