Software Installation
MD3000 arrays. For more information on alerts, the event monitor, and
manually restarting the event monitor, see the MD Storage Manager User’s
Guide.
10 The Pre-Installation Summary screen appears, showing the installation
destination, the required disk space, and the available disk space. If the
installation path is correct, click Install.
11 When the installation completes, click Done.
12 A screen appears asking if you want to restart the system now. Select No,
I will restart my system myself .
13 If you are setting up a cluster host, double-click the MD3000 Stand Alone
to Cluster.reg file located in the utility directory of the MD3000 Resource
CD. This merges the file into the registry of each node.
NOTE:
Windows clustering is supported on Windows Server 2003 and
Windows Server 2008.
If you are reconfiguring a cluster node into a stand alone host, double-click
the MD3000 Cluster to Stand Alone.reg file located in the
windows\utility directory of the MD3000 Resource CD. This merges the
file into the host registry.
NOTE:
These registry files set the host up for the correct failback operation.
14 If you have third-party applications that use the Microsoft Volume
Shadow-copy Service (VSS) or Virtual Disk Service (VDS) Application
Programming Interface (API), install the VDS_VSS package located in the
windows\VDS_VSS directory on the MD3000 Resource CD. Separate
versions for 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems are provided. The VSS and
VDS provider will engage only if it is needed.
15 Set the path for the command line interface (CLI), if required. See the MD
Storage Manager CLI Guide for more information.
16 Install MD Storage Manager on all other hosts attached to the MD3000
array.
17 If you have not yet cabled your MD3000 Storage Array, do so at this time.
18 After the MD3000 has initialized, reboot each host attached to the array.
