Downloading the StorNext Client Software
The StorNext client software can be downloaded from a metadata
controller. (To download the client software, the client system must have
network access to the MDC.)
1 On the client system, point a web browser to the URL (host name and
port number) of the MDC. For example,
http://servername:81
Use one of the following web browsers to access the MDC (make sure
pop-up blockers are turned off):
Internet Explorer 6.0 or later (including 7.0)
Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later (including 2.0 or later)
2 When prompted, type the username and password for the MDC, and
then click
OK. (The default value for both username and password is
admin.)
The StorNext home page appears.
3 Do one of the following:
For a MDC running SNFS and SNSM: On the Admin menu, click
Download Client Software.
For a MDC running SNFS only: On the home page, click

The Select Platform window appears (figure 19).
Note: You can download the client software only from MDCs
running Linux or Unix.
