STEP 3: Software Installation
The D3/D4 SAN Storage array comes standard with Storage Manager software that is required to use basic
array features. To extend an array's feature sets, additional software can be installed depending on which
features would be best suited for any given environment.
This guide covers the installation and configuration tasks that would be necessary to enable the common
functionality required in an average enterprise environment using Storage Manager software. For more
information about other software suites and the features they enable for the D-Series array, please refer to the
relevant documentation on the CD included with the base unit.
Management Server Installation
The Storage Manager setup CD contains installation software for systems performing the management server,
application server, and management client roles.
The Storage Manager software generates a large number of files and constantly updates files during normal
operation. Therefore, it is recommended that the installation path for the Storage Manager software be
excluded from any real-time virus scanning routine. Also, while a single management server can monitor
several arrays simultaneously, an array should not be managed by more than one management server.
Installing Storage Manager
The following steps take place on the system designated as the management server.
1. Log in to the management server using an account with administrator privileges.
2. Insert the Storage Manager CD.
3. Start the Storage Manager setup. If the Storage Manager setup does not start automatically after
inserting the CD, manually run <CD Drive>:\StorageManager\Install\Windows\ISMSETUP.EXE
4. At the Select Setup Method window, select
Setup the management server from the
Quick Install section, and then click Next.
*Note: Windows Server 2008 in UAC mode
may require an additional step before this step
to grant permission to run the setup.
