Installation issues

• Linux install issue on RHEL 5: Under specific distributions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, the
installation CD is auto-mounted using the following CD Label:
# /media/HpInstallx.x/
If this occurs, the CD may get mounted with the no execution flag, causing the installation script
to fail. Installation failure may be indicated by the error message:
# ./install_smb.sh
bash: ./install_smb.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
Workaround: Manually unmount the installation CD. For example, if the CD was auto-mounted in
/media/HpInstallx.x, issue the following commands to remount the CD:
# unmount /media/HpInstallx.x
# mkdir —p /mnt/cdrom
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
If the unmount command fails with a busy warning, make sure you have closed all applications
and consoles that could be using the CD media.
• On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 the MSA2000 uses the native Microsoft MPIO. Perform this
procedure for all Windows 2008 systems in your SAN to configure MPIO.
