*NOTE  
The MegaRAID Storage Manager software is supported in the Network Address Translation (NAT) environment also. If the server is installed in a remote machine and you want to connect to that server over a NAT environment, through a remote client, you can connect to the remote server by providing the NAT IP address.
 
*NOTE  
You can use the MegaRAID Storage Manager software to remotely monitor the systems running the VMware ESXi (3.5 and above) operating system.
 
*NOTE  
Storelib libraries need the capability to be installed with more than one version. All the storelib libraries have been moved to a private location. Please do a clean un-installation and only then install the MegaRAID Software Manager to avoid any conflicts.
