Tools > StorNext Connect Ports
The StorNext Connect Ports option allows you to enable HTTP ports for StorNext Connect, if they are currently disabled, and also query the current StorNext Connect ports status.
This feature simplifies the StorNext Connect installation so that administrators do not have to enable HTTP via the command line before downloading and installing the StorNext Connect bundle.
Note: The StorNext Connect Ports menu option is only available on Xcellis, Artico, Pro Foundation, and StorNext Metadata Appliances.
