This is driving me nuts, so any help or hints would be gratefully received.
As has been noted elsewhere, there's a bug in the Openfiler GUI which prevents the creation of RAID 1 arrays. There is a known solution to this which has been reported as working by multiple people. Here is a link to the solution:
http://www.everything-virtual.com/20...-creation-fix/
The solution involves opening Secure Console from within Openfiler. That's all fine and dandy if Secure Console works. Mine doesn't and that's why I'm asking for help. Firefox, IE & Chrome all do the same thing. Here goes:
Opening the Openfiler GUI in IE immediately complains about a security certificate. I click "Continue to this website (not recommended)" and login. I click System then Secure Console. Dialog box appears telling me, "The connection to this website is untrusted". It's on my own LAN, so I can trust it! I click the Continue button, and the Secure Console window shows, "Error: Click for details". The details are, "ClassNotFoundException" regarding "com.sshtools.sshterm.SshTermApplet". Clicking the Reload or Ignore buttons achieves nothing. Clicking the Details button shows me the Java Console window. Real helpful! Depending upon what I've tried, I also sometimes get an "unsigned" error instead of the "ClassNotFound" error.
I have researched this issue for hours, going round and round in circles with deleting Java, installing older versions, disabling storage of temporary files, disabling various browser security settings, you name it. Nothing works. I have the latest version of Java, on Windows 7 64 bit. I cannot be the only person who is running into this. I realize this is not technically a Linux issue, but Openfiler is a modified version of Linux and it's some ssh files associated with Openfiler which are the issue. Something is not right and I just don't know how to get around it.
I did try logging into my Openfiler server as root using Putty in order to run the fix command: conary update mdadm=openfiler.rpath.org@rpl:devel/2.6.4-0.2-1
My thought was if I can't get Secure Console to work, then at least try the fix from the OS. It fails with this message:
Error occurred opening repository
http://openfiler.rpath.org/conary/: Connection timed out
I assume the timeout is because it's making an http connection, not an https connection. Thus, running the conary command from the Secure Shell would work where a Putty connection would not. If only I could get Secure Shell to work......
My wish is Java be uninvented and we all get back the days and weeks of our lives it has wasted. Until then, can anyone help me get around this issue?
Thanks in advance.
