Keep looking LSA can send email alerts....So far I have not found that feature in LSA.
LSA takes a little getting used to but I consider not relying on Java a bonus.
Keep looking LSA can send email alerts....So far I have not found that feature in LSA.
i install a MegaRaid 9340-8i in my Windows 11 desktop PC,i have the same problem, it show a yellow error and not find server .I noticed this pageI must have run through this 20 times and I still can't get it to work, not on my server, not on a desktop that I also have a 9361-8i in. I even switched to the previous version and now that doesn't work either. I don't remember which version I had previously that did work.
I can install and run the software, but it gets that yellow error bar that it can't find the server. I do have the javax.activation.jar file in the right place. I have not found anything else that would suggest a solution.
Has anyone found a solution to this?
Thanks

created a new Windows user because he has others Java runtime reference program need run, so can't uninstall other Java runtime version.by the way, I follow this page create a new Windows User which named 'msm' to set JRE_HOME PATH, and set the MSMFramewrok Services login the 'msm' account. that page also point the MSMFramework service just run a java back server to started the back work. after MSMFramework Service started, if that none new java process running, means the service start failed, which show the 'Create process failed' message box during the installing step. also can use 'netstatus -ano |find "3071" command to confirmed if the 3071 port is listenning.
thanks, I am not familiar with the Java environment config, thanks your advice! I am probability like using .NET software in Windows Operation System.I do not think you actually need to create new users, each java application can start with a cmd line entry and you can have several JRE application directories on the same computer. It is all about mapping the correct path to the correct version.
Nothing prevents you from having several system PATH variables either, like Java_HOME_81, Java_HOME_82 etc... as long as they point to corresponding java /bin/ directories with correct versions of the runtime for that app.
This is of course more advanced and requires some additional work and being careful with how you do it.
ok so forgive me but i am an idiot about all of this stuff,
Just ditch MSM and install LSI Storage Authority. No need for Java, it has support for Windows and Linux, and allows you to manage a system remotely.ok so forgive me but i am an idiot about all of this stuff
I tried setting up LSISA and it took me to a sign in page and i looked around to try and see what i was supposed to do and i followed a lenovo guide for setting up the ports and everything and it still did not work, I really want to try and make MSM work since it feels like im only a step away from getting it.Just ditch MSM and install LSI Storage Authority. No need for Java, it has support for Windows and Linux, and allows you to manage a system remotely.
The UI is different, and some settings aren't in obvious places, but you can click 10 times in LSA hunting for the setting in the same amount of time it takes MSM to respond to a single click.
ok so i have gone back through the guide as well as re-reading this entire thread to make sure that I was not missing anything and here is where I am at, my JRE_HOME path i have tried pointing at both "C:\jre1.8.0_333\jdk8u282-b08-jre\bin\javax.activation.jar" as well as "C:\jre1.8.0_333\jdk8u282-b08-jre\" and neither one worked, I was not sure where the javax.activation.jar file came from, I downloaded mine from a link somewhere but I was not sure if it was specific to a certain version of java. as far as I can tell everything seems to be where it is supposed to be but again im not 100% sure, I can provide screenshots but is there a particular screenshot you want to see?Check the section about PATH in Windows. Somehow your java installation is not finding the MSM.
That is among the most common issues.
Go through everything step by step, check and doublecheck. If you find something that may not reflect what you see, please describe it here, with screenshots if possible. I will of course try to help, but may be off a bit, it is Easter after all.
The differences are miniscule, compare the "Read Me" texts.Sometimes the simplest way is best.
Unless there is an overpowering reason to need MSM version 17.05.06.00, just install MSM version 17.05.01.02.
MSM version 17.05.01.02 works with W10 and W11 and virtually any Java version from the last 2 -3 years without problems or a need for workarounds.

The javax.activation file is available from my site for download, together with everything else you should need. The included java version may be a couple of versions old, but it should not matter a lot.

Just use a local administrator account. By default,I tried setting up LSISA and it took me to a sign in page
.\Administrators
has full permissions.I ran MSM for years, but the fact that it always required a specific version of Java for each MSM version meant it was a pain to maintain.I would like to point out, as I have before, that I have nothing against using LSI Storage Authority, I just never came across it when setting up my drives or when making my how-to so I do not have any experience using it.
In an isolated system you do not have to update Java unless you expose the system to access over Internet or other hazardous activities, or, of course, if you have to update it due to some other application requirement.I ran MSM for years, but the fact that it always required a specific version of Java for each MSM version meant it was a pain to maintain.
There are so many applications that require specific versions of Java but insist on using the "system" version installed on Windows that I have completely given up on anything that uses Java unless it installs its own version in its install directory.if you have to update it due to some other application requirement.
I use my workstation to manage all the storage servers, which means the browser and Java run on my workstation. I would never run a browser on the storage server.[/QUOTE]I do NOT use my normal workstation, I use a dedicated storage server.
what is the password for this? I have also tried using the disable function in the LSA config file but that did not work for me. this is so frustrating. to a lot of other people this is probably simple but i cannot figure it out. all i want to do is replace my dead drive damn it. I also have still not been able to get MSM to detect my system it still just gives me an error.Just use a local administrator account. By default,.\Administrators
