Software Installation

11 When the installation completes, click Done.
12 Return to the CD main menu and select View RDAC MPP Driver

Installation Instructions.

13 After installation of the RDAC driver is complete, restart the system.
14 Install MD Storage Manager on all other hosts attached to the MD3000

array.

15 Reboot each host attached to the array.

Management Station Installation

Follow these steps to install MD Storage Manager on a system that configures
and manages a storage array over the network.

1 At the CD main menu, type 3 and press Enter. The installation wizard

appears.

2 Click Next.
3 Accept the terms of the License Agreement and click Next.
4 Select Management Station as the type of installation. This option installs

only the MD Storage Manager software used to configure, manage and
monitor a MD3000 storage array.

5 Click Next.
6 If the Overwrite Warning dialog appears, click OK. The software currently

being installed automatically replaces any existing versions of MD Storage
Manager.

7 A screen appears asking whether to restart the event monitor automatically

or manually after rebooting. You should configure only one system (either
a host or a management station) to automatically restart the event
monitor.

NOTE:

The event monitor notifies the administrator of problem conditions

with the storage array. MD Storage Manager can be installed on more than
one system, but running the event monitor on multiple systems can cause
multiple alert notifications to be sent for the same error condition. To avoid
this issue, enable the event monitor only on a single system which monitors
your MD3000 arrays. For more information on alerts, the event monitor, and
manually restarting the event monitor, see the MD Storage Manager User’s
Guide
