MSM requires ports 3071 and 5571 to be open in order to function. Follow these steps
to make sure these ports are open and to configure multicasting.
1. Configure the system with a valid Internet Protocol (IP) address.
Make sure there is no IP address conflict within the sub network and make sure that
ports 3071 and 5571 are open and available for MSM framework communication.
2. Disable all security management and the firewall.
3. Configure multicasting.
Make sure Class D multicast IP addresses are registered (at least 229.111.112.12
should be registered for MSM to work); if they are not registered, create a static
route using the following command:
Route add 229.111.112.12 dev eth1
4. Install MSM. If MSM is already installed, restart MSM framework.
This section explains how to install (or reinstall) MegaRAID Storage Manager software
on your workstation or server for the supported operating systems: Microsoft Windows,
Red Hat Linux, and SUSE Linux.
The MSM installation script also installs the SNMP agent RPM (Red Hat Package
Manager). The SNMP agent application depends upon the standard SNMP Utils
package.
Make sure that the SNMP-Util package is present in the system before you install MSM.
