Installing Nytro MegaRAID Support Software : Installing MegaRAID Storage Manager : Installing MSM on Linux

Installing MSM on Linux

Perform these steps to install the MSM software on Linux:

1.

Copy the MSM_linux_installer-11.02.00-00.tar.gz file to a temporary folder.

2.

Untar the MSM_linux_installer-11.02.00-00.tar.gz file using the following command:

tar -zxvf MSM_linux_installer-11.02.00-00-...tar.gz

A new disk directory is created.

3.

Go to the new disk directory.

4.

In the disk directory, find and read the readme.txt file.

5.

To start the installation, enter the following command:

csh install.csh -a

The preceding command works only if csh shell is installed; otherwise, use the following command:

install.csh

If you select Client installation for a computer that is used to monitor servers, and if no available servers exist with a registered framework on the local subnet (that is, servers with a complete installation of the MSM software), the MegaRAID Storage Manager – Host Name window appears. The MegaRAID Storage Manager – Host Name window does not list any servers. You can use this window to manage systems remotely.

To install the software using an interactive mode, execute the command ./install.csh from the installation disk.

To install the product in a non-interactive or silent mode, use the command ./install.csh [-options] [-ru popup] from the installation disk. The installation options are as follows:

*

Complete

*

Client Component Only

*

StandAlone

*

Local

*

Server

The -ru popup command removes the pop-up from the installation list.

You also can run a non-interactive installation using the RunRPM.sh command.

The installer offers the following setup options:

*

Complete – This installs all the features of the product.

*

Client Components Only – The StoreLib feature of the product is not installed in this type of installation. As a result, the resident system can only administer and configure all of the servers in the subnet, but it cannot serve as a server.

*

StandAlone – Only the networking feature is not installed in this case. But the system can discover other servers in the subnet and can be discovered by the other servers in the subnet.

*

Local – This option enables you to view only the workstation that has the MSM software installed. You cannot discover other remote servers and other remote servers cannot connect to your workstation. In a local mode installation, use the loopback address instead of the IP address.

*

Server – This option installs components required for remote server management

This installation helps you select any of the setup types, but if you run RunRPM.sh, it installs the complete feature.
