The standard number of storage partitions allowed is four on DS3200 and two on DS3300
and DS3400. The maximum number is 16 on all DS3000 subsystems with DS3000 Partition
Expansion License.

4.2 DS3000 Storage Manager installation

The DS3000 Storage Manager package contains several components, explained in 2.3.1,
"DS3000 Storage Manager components" on page 20. The installation process consists of
installing the appropriate set of Storage Manager components on the target computer.
We will install Storage Manager on two systems: a host server and a management station.
The following components will be installed on the host server:
SMclient
SMagent
SMutil
Multipath support
When installation completes, the host server will have all the components necessary for
accessing the logical drives on the DS3000 and for in-band management.
Important: Microsoft fix KB916048 is required before you can install host server
components on Windows Server 2003. This is the updated storport.sys driver.
The management station only needs one component: SMclient.
The DS3000 Storage Manager can be downloaded from the IBM Systems support Web site:
http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/systems/support
Storage Manager packages are available for:
Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit version)
Linux 2.4 kernel
Linux 2.6 kernel
In our example, we will install Windows versions on both the host server and the
management station. More detailed installation instructions are in Chapter 5, "Installing IBM
System Storage DS3000 Storage Manager" on page 93.
1. Launch the installation executable file. This extracts the installation files.
