4-6 EMC CLARiiON Server Support Products for Windows Installation Guide
Installing and Using the Admhost and Admsnap Utility
Installing the Admsnap Utility
We strongly recommend that you install admsnap on all Windows
servers connected to a storage system with the SnapView driver
installed. The Admsnap Utility is supported only on the following
Microsoft Windows platforms: Windows Server 2003 or Windows
2000.
Important
If you are upgrading your storage system to FLARE OE
version 02.19.xxx.5.yyy or higher, you must upgrade admsnap to
version 2.9.x or higher. Before you upgrade FLARE, verify that your
operating system version supports admsnap version 2.9.x or higher.
Refer to the Admsnap Release Notes or the EMC Support Matrix on
Powerlink.
For the supported versions of these operating systems, see the Admsnap
Release Notes.
Installation prerequisites
Before you can install and use the Admsnap Utility, you must install:
◆ SnapView on a supported CLARiiON storage system. For a list of
supported storage systems, refer to the release notes for
SnapView and admsnap.
◆ Access Logix on the same CLARiiON storage system.
To install the Admsnap Utility
If you have VMware ESX Server, install the admsnap utility on the VMware
Windows Virtual Machine.
1. Log in to the Windows server or the VMware Windows Virtual
Machine as the administrator or as someone who has
administrative privileges.
2. If admsnap is already installed, refer to page 4-8 to remove it.
The remove step is needed because the installation program will not let
you install admsnap over an existing revision.
3. In the server’s drive, insert the server support CD that shipped
with your storage system or your upgrade kit (for AX-Series
systems upgrading to Navisphere Manager).
