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:

This installation helps you select any of the setup types, but if you run RunRPM.sh, it installs the complete feature.
