Running Demos
To run the demo that you are editing in the Demo Configuration Editor:
- Select
Run Demo from the Action Menu or click the
button on the toolbar.
-
(Optional) If there are unsaved changes, you will be given the option to
save the changes.
Note: If SANtricity isn't running, the SANtricity Storage Manager Client will be started using
the new configuration. If SANtricity is already running, it will be
updated with the new configuration. SANtricity takes a while to
discover the changes.
SANtricity is launched with the new configuration. If
localhost is not being managed by the SANtricity, it will be added to the
devices so that the configuration can run.
To run the demo without the Demo Configuration Editor:
- Select the File->Save Package to save the entire Demo package.
- Enter the name of the package.
- (Optional) Select Display Auto Discovery to show the Initial
Automatic Discovery dialog when the demo is started, or de-select Display
Auto Discovery to have localhost automatically added to the devices at
startup.
Note: If you select Display Auto Discovery,
you must add the localhost device manually or with automatic discovery to
display the configuration.
- (Optional) Select Save from Running Demo to create the package from
the configuration being used in SANtricity. For more information, see creating
a complex configuration.
Note: The
demo must be running for this option to be enabled.
- Click Save. This will create the package jar and bat file with the
same name and copy jhall.jar and the Java JRE (if they don't already exist)
in the location selected.
- Important: Make sure that the Demo Configuration
Editor and other demos aren't running on the computer. This will
prevent the demo from running and no error messages are given.
- Open the folder where the package was saved and double click the bat file
for the package to launch
the application.
From Another Computer
To run the demo on another computer or without the Demo Configuration Editor:
- Select the File->Save Package to save the entire Demo package.
- Enter the name of the package.
- (Optional) Select Display Auto Discovery to show the Initial
Automatic Discovery dialog when the demo is started, or de-select Display
Auto Discovery to have localhost automatically added to the devices at
startup.
Note: If you select Display Auto Discovery,
you must add the localhost device manually or with automatic discovery to
display the configuration.
- (Optional) Select Save from Running Demo to create the package from
the configuration being used in SANtricity. For more information, see creating
a complex configuration.
Note: The
demo must be running for this option to be enabled.
- Click Save. This will create the package jar and bat file with the
same name and copy jhall.jar and the Java JRE (if they don't already exist)
in the location selected.
- Copy the new package jar file, bat file, readme file, jhall.jar, and the jre
directory and move them to the desired location.
- From the new location, double click
the bat file to launch the application.
Important: Make sure that the Demo Configuration
Editor and other demos aren't running on the computer. This will
prevent the demo from running and no error messages are given.
Configurations created using the Demo Configuration Editor are limited in
their complexity. However, much more complex configurations (e.g. using
RVM) can
be created using SANtricity.
To create a complex configuration:
- Create a starting configuration using the Demo Configuration Editor.
- Run the demo.
- Setup the complex configuration using SANtricity.
Note: Be sure to leave SANtricity running
- Save
the package with the Save from Running Demo option selected.
