Installing on Linux
MD Storage Manager can be installed and used only on Linux distributions
that utilize the RPM Package Manager format, such as Red Hat
®
or SUSE
®
.
The installation packages are installed by default in the
/opt/dell/mdstoragemanager directory.
NOTE:
Root privileges are required to install the software.
1 Close all other programs before installing any new software.
2 Insert the CD. For some Linux installations, when you insert a CD into a
drive, a screen appears asking if you want to run the CD. Select Yes if the
screen appears. Otherwise, run ./install.sh from the linux directory on
the CD.
NOTE:
On the Red Enterprise Linux 5 operating system, CDs are auto-mounted with
the -noexec mount option. This option does not allow you to run any executable
from the CD. To fix this problem, you need to unmount the CD, then manually
remount the CD-ROM, and then run executables. The command to unmount the
CD-ROM is:
# umount <cd device node>
The command to manually mount the CD is:
# mount <cd device node> <directory to be mounted>
