Release 1.0 of the SANtool currently provides full functionality when inserted into a Windows-based operating system. The host computer utilizes TCP/IP over IANA-assigned port # 4079 to establish a secure SSL (https) link with the embedded web server on the USB stick. The GUI interface is supplied via a web browser running on a local or remote system.
The same executable supports x86 and x64-based Windows XP, 2003, and Vista for host operating system. (Native executables for other operating systems will be added as resources permit).
| • | IE7+, Firefox 3.0+, Google Chrome. (Safari has no known issues, but is not formally tested for compatibility). |
| • | Javascript must be enabled. |
| • | The software does not require Java, nor does it use or require any additional plug-ins. |
| • | All communication is over SSL (https). |
| • | Both a factory generated SSL certificate and the executables necessary to create your own certificate are included. |
Command-line interface (SMARTMon-UX)
Each SANtool is licensed for Windows (XP,2003,2008,Vista) on X86/X64 platforms, plus at least one more operating system:
| • | X86, X64, IA64 LINUX |
| • | HP/UX (IA64) |
| • | SPARC, X86 Solaris |
| • | IA64 Windows 2003 |
| • | In order to use the command-line in local mode (as opposed to remote agent mode), the SANtool must be plugged into a host running the appropriate operating system, and run as a standard command-line program. |
A natively compiled embedded web server suitable for running as a service/background daemon on all major operating systems is under development. This will be the mechanism for securely running diagnostics on remote systems over a secure (SSL) connection.
Host O/S must currently be Windows, but the remote system can be any UNIX/LINUX operating system with telnet enabled. The user is required to enter appropriate remote host O/S and username/password information, which will be securely saved on the SANtool.
Any command(s), or scripts can be run, but output should be limited to less than 1 MB, and commands must be constructed so they are not interactive in nature. The Remote Agent is not required.
