Installing Nytro MegaRAID Support Software : Installing MegaRAID Storage Manager : Installing and Configuring an SNMP Agent : Prerequisites to Run MSM Remote Administration

Prerequisites to Run MSM Remote Administration

The MegaRAID Storage Manager (MSM) software requires ports 3071 and 5571 to be open to function. Perform these steps to prepare to run the MegaRAID Storage Manager Remote Administration.

1.

Configure the system with a valid IP address.

Make sure the IP address does not conflict with another in the sub network.

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

2.

Disable all security manager and firewall.

3.

Configure the multicasting.

Make sure Class D multicast IP addresses are registered (at least 229.111.112.12 must be registered for the MSM software to work); if not, create a static route using this command:

Route add 229.111.112.12 dev eth1

4.

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