Installing StorNext FS on UNIX

You can install the StorNext File System (StorNext FS) software on a UNIX machine that uses an SGI IRIX, Sun Solaris, Linux, (Red Hat, SuSE) or IBM AIX operating system. Once you have successfully installed the StorNext FS software on your server, use the Initial Configuration Wizard (ICW) to configure the software. You are then ready to use the StorNext FS software.

You can also run the StorNext FS software on a client machine by downloading the client files from the server and then installing them on your client.

If you purchased the StorNext File System (StorNext FS) product for CAUTION UNIX, you must use the installation instructions in this chapter to

successfully install StorNext FS on your UNIX machine. You do not need to use the installation instructions in the other chapters of this guide unless you purchase the StorNext FS for Windows product (refer to Installing StorNext FS on Windows on page 4-1) or the StorNext Management Suite product (refer to Installing SNMS on page 2-1).
