Installing MegaRAID Storage Manager Software on RHEL or SLES/SuSE Linux
To install MegaRAID Storage Manager software on a system running Red Hat Linux 3.0/4.0/5.0/6.0 or SuSE Linux/SLES 9, 10, and 11, follow these steps:
- Copy the file
MSM_linux_installer-11.02.00-00.tar.gz
to a temporary folder.- Extract the
MSM_linux_installer-11.02.00-00.tar.gz
file using the following command:tar -zxvf MSM_linux_installer-11.02.00-00-...tar.gz
This action creates a new disk directory.- Go to the new
disk
directory.- In the
disk
directory, find and read thereadme.txt
file.To start the installation, enter the following command:csh install.sh -a
If you select the Client installation for a computer used to monitor servers, and if there are no available servers with a registered framework on the local subnet (that is, servers with a complete installation of MegaRAID Storage Manager software), the server screen appears. The server screen does not list any servers. You can use this screen to manage systems remotely.
To install the software using interactive mode, run the command .
/install.sh
from the installation disk.To install the product in a non-interactive or silent mode, use the command
./install.sh [-options] [ -ru popup]
from the installation disk. The installation options are:The
-ru popup
command removed pop-up from the installation list.You also can run a non-interactive installation using the
RunRPM.sh
command.The installer offers three types of setup options:
- Complete – This option installs all the features of the product.
- Client Components Only – The storelib feature of the product is not installed in this type of installation. As a result, the resident system can only administer and configure all of the servers in the subnet but it cannot serve as a server.
- StandAlone – Only the networking feature is not installed in this case, so the resident system is not a part of the network. This implies that the system cannot browse any other MegaRAID Storage Manager servers in the subnet, and the MegaRAID Storage Manager servers cannot recognize it as a server.
- Local mode - This option enables you to view only the workstation that has the MegaRAID Storage Manager software installed. You will not be able to discover other remote servers and other remote servers will also not be able to connect to your workstation. In a local mode installation, you will be using the loopback address instead of the IP address.
This installation helps you select any of the setup types, but if you run
RunRPM.sh
, it installs the complete feature.
