3 At the CD main menu, type 2 and press Enter. The installation wizard appears. 4 Click Next. 5 Accept the terms of the License Agreement and click Next. 6 Select an installation type: • Typical (Full installation) - This package installs both the management station and host options. It includes the necessary host-based storage agent, multipath driver, and MD Storage Manager software. Select this option if you plan to use MD Storage Manager on the host server to configure, manage, and monitor the storage array. OR • Host - This package installs the necessary storage agent and multipath driver on a host server connected to the storage array. Select this option on all hosts that are connected to a storage array but will NOT use MD Storage Manager for any storage array management tasks. 7 Click Next. 8 If the Overwrite Warning dialog appears, click OK. The software currently being installed automatically replaces any existing versions of MD Storage Manager. 9 The Multipath Warning dialog box may appear to advise that this installation requires an RDAC MPP driver. If this screen appears, click OK. Installation instructions for the RDAC MPP driver are given in step 13. 10 If you selected Typical (full) installation in step 6, a screen appears asking whether to restart the event monitor automatically or manually after rebooting. You should configure only one system (either a host or a management station) to automatically restart the event monitor. NOTE: The event monitor notifies the administrator of problem conditions with the storage array. MD Storage Manager can be installed on more than one system, but running the event monitor on multiple systems can cause multiple alert notifications to be sent for the same error condition. To avoid this issue, enable the event monitor only on a single system which monitors your MD3000i arrays. For more information on alerts, the event monitor, and manually restarting the event monitor, see the User's Guide. 11 The Pre-Installation Summary screen appears showing the installation destination, the required disk space, and the available disk space. If the installation path is correct, click Install. 12 When the installation completes, click Done. 13 At the install the multi-pathing driver [y/n]? prompt, answer y (yes). 14 When the RDAC driver installation is complete, quit the menu and restart the system. 15 Install MD Storage Manager on all other hosts attached to the MD3000i array. 16 Reboot each host attached to the array. 26 Software Installation
