Software Installation - Dell PowerVault MD3000i User Manual

Software Installation

Obtain the correct version of the Dell Storage vCenter Plug-in for your
environment (x86 or x64) from the Download and Drivers area at
support.dell.com. See the Support Matrix at support.dell.com/manuals for
the most current versions. The file should be copied to the application server.
NOTE:
It is highly recommended that the application server be installed on a
separate Windows 2003 or 2008 server from the existing VMware vCenter Server.
However, the application server may be installed on the same host as the existing
vCenter Server if adequate resources are available on the vCenter Server.
After the Dell Storage vCenter Plug-in software has been downloaded, run
the package on the application server to launch the installation wizard. The
installation wizard will install a Jetty application server, SMI-S provider, and
register the plug-in within the vCenter server. Note that the details of the
equipment in the environment, such as IP addresses and DNS names, must
be supplied during the installation process. The above table may be used to
help facilitate recording this information for the installation. Follow the
procedure below to install the software:
1 Read the introduction screen, and click Next.
2 Read through the license agreement and if you accept the terms, select the
appropriate option, and click Next.
3 Either select the local installation directory for the plug-in manager, or
click Next for the default.
4 Review the installation details, and click Install if the details are correct.
5 Change the port number of the Jetty server if you wish to, or accept the
default of 8084 and 8081, and click Next.
6 Change the IP address of the application server if desired. The IP address
will default to the IP address of the system the installer is running on.
Click Next.
7 The next screen prompts you for the IP address of the vCenter server that
the plug-in will be installed on. Enter the IP address of the vCenter server,
and click Next.
8 Enter the Administrator's email address for alerts, and click Next.
9 Enter the vCenter Administrator's User ID, and click Next.
10 Enter the vCenter Administrator's password, and click Next.
