Installing MegaRAID Storage Manager Software on RHEL or SLES/SuSE Linux
1.
Copy the MSM_linux_installer-11.02.00-00.tar.gz file to a temporary folder.
2.
Untar 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
A new disk directory is created.
3.
Go to the new disk directory.
4.
In the disk directory, find and read the readme.txt file.
The preceding command works only if csh shell is installed; otherwise, use the following command:
If you select Client installation for a computer that is used to monitor servers, and if no available servers exist with a registered framework on the local subnet (that is, servers with a complete installation of the MegaRAID Storage Manager software), the MegaRAID Storage Manager - Host Name window appears. The MegaRAID Storage Manager - Host Name window does not list any servers. You can use this window to manage systems remotely.
To install the software using an interactive mode, execute the command ./install.csh from the installation disk.
To install the product in a non-interactive or silent mode, use the command ./install.csh [-options] [-ru popup] from the installation disk. The installation options are as follows:
The -ru popup command removes the pop-up from the installation list.
You also can run a non-interactive installation using the RunRPM.sh command.
The installer offers the following setup options:
![]()
Complete – This 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 will not be installed in this case. But the system can discover other servers in the subnet and can be discovered by the other servers in the subnet.
![]()
Local – 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.
![]()
Server – This option installs components required for remote server management
This installation helps you select any of the setup types, but if you run RunRPM.sh, it installs the complete feature.
NOTE To install and run the MegaRAID Storage Manager software on RHEL 5, you need to disable SELinux.
