Troubleshooting

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

Java application errors

Error condition

Probable cause / recommended action

1

When you click the 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 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 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.

2

When you click the 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.

  • The application errors (20020-108000 and 10-6027) occur when you click the Storage Navigator menu.

  • The application error (10-6027) occurs and Storage Navigator terminates when you click the Storage Navigator menu.

If the problem continues after you perform the operation multiple times, see the probable causes listed below.

For Windows: Exit all applications using Java, and then terminate the javaw.exe and javaws.exe applications through Task Manager.

  • Java on the Storage Navigator web client might have failed to start due to timeout. Close all other applications and perform the Storage Navigator operation again.

  • The version of Storage Navigator installed on the management client might not match the service processor version. Close all the windows of your web browser and then clear the Java and web browser cache.

  • The management client might have entered standby or hibernate mode. Restart management client.

  • If a proxy server is used for network connections, the proxy cache may be storing the older version of the program. If the problem continues after you clear the Java and web browser caches, contact your network administrator.

  • The network connection between the service processor and the management client might be blocked by a firewall or some kind of device.

Check the firewall settings and contact your network administrator.

If none of the above actions solve the problem, save the dump file, the Java trace file and the log file on the management client, and report to the Hitachi Solution Support Center. Then restart Storage Navigator.
