Overview : Hardware and Software Requirements

Hardware and Software Requirements

The hardware requirements for the MegaRAID Storage Manager (MSM) software are as follows:

*

PC-compatible computer with an IA‑32 (32‑bit) Intel Architecture processor or an EM64T (64‑bit) processor

*

Minimum 256 MB of system memory (512 MB recommended)

*

A hard drive with at least 400 MB available free space.

Refer to your server documentation and to the operating system documentation for more information on hardware and operating system requirements.

*NOTE  The MSM software is supported in the Network Address Translation (NAT) environment also. If the server is installed in a remote machine and you want to connect to that server over a NAT environment, through a remote client, you can connect to the remote server by providing the NAT IP address.

*NOTE  The MSM software uses the local IP address in the same subnet as the SMTP server to deliver e-mail notifications to the SMTP server.

You can use the MSM software to remotely monitor the systems running the VMware ESXi (3.5 and above) operating system.

*NOTE  StoreLib libraries need the capability to be installed with more than one version. All the StoreLib libraries must be moved into a private location. Perform a clean un-installation and only then install the MSM to avoid any conflicts.
