Installation : Prerequisites to Running MegaRAID Storage Manager Remote Administration

Prerequisites to Running MegaRAID Storage Manager Remote Administration

The MegaRAID Storage Manager software requires port 3071 and port 5571 to be open to function. Follow these steps to prepare to run the MegaRAID Storage Manager Remote Administration.

1.

Configure the system with a valid IP address.

Make sure that there is no IP address conflict in the sub network.

Ports such as 3071 and 5571 are open and available for the MegaRAID Storage Manager framework communication.

2.

Disable the security manager and the firewall.

Configure the multicasting.

Make sure that the Class D multicast IP addresses are registered (at least 229.111.112.12 should be registered for the MegaRAID Storage Manager software to work); if not, create a static route using the following command:

Route add 229.111.112.12 dev eth1

3.

Install the MegaRAID Storage Manager software. If the MegaRAID Storage Manager software is already installed, restart the MegaRAID Storage Manager framework.
