Additional Storage Management Interface Administrator Tasks

The system administrator can perform additional administrator tasks when logged in to the interface VantageDB authenticating host.

Perform the following steps to log in to the interface VantageDB authenticating host as the system administrator.

Follow these steps:

1. Do one of the following steps:
   • Enter the following URL in your internet browser to start the Storage Management interface outside of CA Chorus:

     http://<TCPIP address>:<JBOSS Port>/VantageGMI
     

     <JBOSS Port> is the HTTPS Connector port. If you used ETJI0105 in CETJJCL to configure the ports, view the job output to determine the port number.

     The line in the job appears similar to the following example:

     HTTP Connector assigned to port xxxxx
     

   • Log in to the Storage Management interface from CA Chorus:
     1. Log in to CA Chorus.
     2. Add the Quick Links module to your dashboard.
     3. Click Manage Storage Resources in the Quick Links window.

        The system automatically logs you in to the Storage Management interface and connects you to the storage engine using your mainframe ID.

     4. Click Log Out in the Storage Management interface Menu bar to log off with your mainframe ID.

   The Storage Management interface login dialog opens in your browser.

2. Enter the system administrator user Name and Password.

   The system administrator credentials are as follows:

   The interface opens in your browser with the My Profile window open.
