The screen shows the default installation path.

5 Click Next to accept the path, or enter a new path and click Next.
6 Select an installation type:

Typical (Full installation) — This package installs both the
management station and host software. It includes the necessary host-
based storage agent, multipath driver, and MD Storage Manager
software. Select this option if the host will also configure, manage, and
monitor the storage array.

Host — This package installs the necessary storage agent and
multipath driver on a host physically connected to the storage array.
Select this option on all hosts that are connected to a storage array but
will not use MD Storage Manager.

NOTE:

Dell recommends using the host installation type if the host server is

running Windows Server 2008 Core version.

7 Click Next.
8 If the Overwrite Warning dialog appears, click OK. The software currently

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

9 If you selected typical (full) installation in step 6, 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.
