Installing SNMS

You can install the StorNext Management Suite (SNMS) software on a server that uses an SGI IRIX, Sun Solaris, or Linux operating system. When you have successfully installed the SNMS software, use the Initial Configuration Wizard (ICW) to configure the software. (After initial configuration, you can use the SNMS GUI to change your configuration parameters.) You are then ready to use the SNMS software.

You can also run the SNMS software on a client machine by downloading the client files from the server and then installing them on your client. You can install client files on machines that use an IRIX, Solaris, Linux, IBM AIX, or Windows (2000 and NT) operating system.

If you purchased the StorNext Management Suite (SNMS) product, CAUTION you must use the installation instructions in this chapter to

successfully install SNMS on your machine. You do not need to use the installation instructions in the other chapters of this guide.

Determining Installation Requirements

Before installing SNMS on any machine, refer to the StorNext Management Suite Release Notes to verify that you have complied with all the necessary requirements for running the software on your specific operating systems.

To learn more about advanced configuration and features such as failover, refer to the StorNext Management Suite System Administrator Guide.
