64 • Appendix A: Using Grid Center with e100 and Capio I/Ports Grid Center 4.11 Administrator’s Guide
Client Software
Grid Center 4.11 maintains full compatibility with the I8800 I/Port, and adds client
support for the Eon e100 XPe I/Ports, and Eon e100 and Capio One NeoLinux
I/Ports.
The Eon e100 is available with either XPe or NeoLinux. The Capio One is available
only with NeoLinux. The NeoLinux operating system and client can be installed on an
Eon e100, although this is not recommended.
Eon e100 and Capio One I/Ports from ClearCube are shipped with Grid Center Client
software pre-installed. This section provides information on how to verify that this
software is correctly installed and functions properly. It also provides information on
how to install, reinstall, or update the client software or other software snapins.
Finally, it gives information on updating or re-imaging the operating system.
I/Port System and Client Verification
The Grid Center client is programmed to start automatically on system startup on the
NeoLinux I/Ports. The XPe Eon e100 I/Port requires you to login to the I/Port before
starting the Grid Center client. (This behavior differs from the I8800 I/Port, which
auto-starts the Grid Center client and auto-connects to an allocated Blade via RDP,
and provides the user with a Windows login screen on the Blade.) On both operating
systems, a ClearCube splash screen is displayed during startup. This should be
visually verified when installing an I/Port on the desktop.
To verify whether the I/Port can connect with the Grid Center server, ping the Grid
Center Console system. On the NeoLinux I/Ports, open a tty session to use ping .
On the XPe I/Ports, run ping from a command window. Grid Center requires TCP
port 6500 to be open. Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol requires TCP ports 139
and 3389 to be open.
If the I/Port can reach the Grid Center Console via ping but not via the Grid Center
client, you may need to reinstall the client software. Use ezRemote Manager to push
out the client, as Grid Center requires minimal client connectivity for a push to
succeed.
Note: The NeoLinux I/Ports need to be plugged into a live Ethernet connection at
startup for the network interface chip (NIC) to auto-initialize. If this does not
happen, the NIC can be started manually using the ezConnect client, or by
restarting the I/Port.
I/Port Client Configuration
The default administrator ID/ password on the XPe I/Ports is administrator /
clearcube . The default user ID/ password on the XPe I/Ports is user / clearcube .
