18 After the MD3000 has initialized, reboot each host attached to the array.

Management Station Installation

Follow these steps to install MD Storage Manager software on a system that
will configure and manage a storage array over the network.

1 From the main menu, select Install MD3000 Storage Manager.

The Installation Wizard appears.

2 Click Next.
3 Accept the terms of the License Agreement and click Next.

The screen shows the default installation path.

4 Click Next to accept the path, or enter a new path and click Next.
5 Select Management Station as the installation type. This option installs

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

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

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

8 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 that 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

.

9 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.

10 When the installation completes, click Done.
