5.6.x HP X9000 Series Network Storage System Installation Guide (TA768-96056, December 2011)

To register clients, complete the following steps:
1. Launch the Windows X9000 client GUI and navigate to the Registration tab.
2. Select the client’s IP address from the list.
3. Enter the management console name in the FM Host Name field.
4. Select Recover Registration to avoid having to re-register this client if you reinstall it. This option
automatically retrieves the client’s ID from the management console.
5. To start the Windows X9000 client service, select Start Service After Registration.
6. Click Register.
7. On the Active Directory Settings tab, click Verify to validate that the proxy user has access to
Active Directory for query mapping.
8. On the client’s Mount tab, select the management console from the list, if necessary, and enter
the file system name. To mount the file system to a Windows drive, click Mount.
NOTE: If you are using Remote Desktop to access the client and the drive letter is not
displayed, log out and log back in. This is a known limitation of Windows Terminal Services
when exposing new drives.
If you change the Active Directory settings on the management console, copy the new settings to
each client. Also verify that the proxy account is correct and clients can connect to the Active
Directory server. Use the following procedure:
1. On every client’s Active Directory Settings tab, click Update to copy settings to the client.
2. On any client, click Verify to test the settings. A success message indicates that all clients can
communicate. A failure message indicates a settings error on one or more clients.
3. Restart the X9000 Software service after the update.
