Troubleshooting secondary windows

This topic describes cautions peculiar to the Device Manager - Storage Navigator secondary window.

Java application errors

Error condition

Probable cause / recommended action

When you click the Device Manager - Storage Navigator menu, the system does not respond. One minute later, application error (20020-108000) occurs.

The pop-up blocker function of your web browser might restrict Device Manager - Storage Navigator. If the problem still continues after you perform the operation multiple times, perform one or both of the following actions:

  • Disable the pop-up blocker function of your web browser.
  • Disable the pop-up blocker function of any browser plug-in/add-on.

If neither of the above can be performed in Internet Explorer, you can open the window by clicking the Device Manager - Storage Navigator menu while holding down the Ctrl key.

Another possible cause is that a Java application was not allowed to start. If a message appears and asks if you want to run an application, click Run.

If none of the above actions solve the problem, reinstall the JRE.

When you click the Device Manager - Storage Navigator menu, a message appears asking you to download the file SJsvlSNStartServlet.do or SJsvlAppStartServlet.do. One minute later, the application error (20020-108000) occurs.

The possible causes are that the JRE is not installed in the management client, the JRE installation failed, or the JRE add-on is disabled on the web browser. Cancel the message, and install the JRE. If the JRE is already installed, reinstall it.

When you click the Device Manager - Storage Navigator menu, a message appears asking you to save a Jnlp file.

An error occurs because a digital signature or security certificate has expired.

You can continue using Device Manager - Storage Navigator even though the digital signature for the Device Manager - Storage Navigator Java application is expired.

You specify IPv6 communication addresses when you start Device Manager - Storage Navigator, but IPv6 is not being used. Instead, IPv6 is being used and IPv4 addresses are output to audit logs for operations on the Device Manager - Storage Navigator secondary window.

IPv4 has higher priority when both IPv4 communication and IPv6 communication can be used. As a result, IPv4 may be used when you specify IPv6 communication addresses. Also, IPv4 addresses may appear in audit logs.

For details on configuring only IPv6 communication, see Virtual Storage Platform G200, G400, G600, G800 System Administrator Guide.
