NOTE: If Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is not used, initial configuration of the management station must be performed on the same physical subnet as the storage array. Additionally, during initial configuration, at least one network adapter must be configured on the same IP subnet as the storage array's default management port (192.168.128.101 or 192.168.128.102). After initial configuration, the management ports are configured using MDSM and the management station's IP address can be changed back to the previous settings. The PowerVault MD3600i Series resource media provided offers the following three installation methods: • Graphical Installation (Recommended)-This is the recommended installation procedure for most users. The installer presents a graphical wizard-driven interface that allows customization of which components are installed. • Console Installation-This installation procedure is useful for Linux users that do not desire to install an X-Window environment on their supported Linux platform. • Silent Installation-This installation procedure is useful for users that prefer to create scripted installations. Graphical Installation (Recommended) 1 Depending on your configuration, insert the resource media in either the management station or the host server. Depending on the autorun settings of the operating system, the Dell PowerVault MD36xxi Resource DVD window may be displayed or a prompt may be displayed to run the md_launcher.exe file. If the PowerVault MD launcher is not displayed and there is no prompt to run the md_launcher.exe file, perform the following steps: • For Windows-based systems, navigate to the root of the resource media and run the md_launcher.exe file. • For Linux-based systems, navigate to the root of the resource media and run the autorun file. NOTE: By default, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) mounts the resource media with the -noexec mount option which does not allow you to run executable files. For more information and to change the settings, see "Release Notes" in the Readme.txt file. The Readme.txt file is located in the root of the resource media. 30 Software Installation

Software Installation
NOTE:
If Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is not used, initial configuration
of the management station must be performed on the same physical subnet as the
storage array. Additionally, during initial configuration, at least one network adapter
must be configured on the same IP subnet as the storage array’s default management
port (192.168.128.101 or 192.168.128.102). After initial configuration, the management
ports are configured using MDSM and the management station’s IP address can be
changed back to the previous settings.
The PowerVault MD3600i Series resource media provided offers the following
three installation methods:
•
Graphical Installation (Recommended)—This is the recommended
installation procedure for most users. The installer presents a graphical
wizard-driven interface that allows customization of which components
are installed.
•

that do not desire to install an X-Window environment on their supported
Linux platform.
•
Silent Installation—This installation procedure is useful for users that
