StorNext File System and Storage Manager Installation Guide 13
Using the Optional Pre-Installation Configuration
StorNext requires the tdlm and www user accounts to exist in the passwd file, and the adic group
account to be in the group file. StorNext automatically creates these accounts during the installation
process, but if you prefer you can create them manually before running the installation.
• If you want the system utility to create the accounts, skip this section and continue with
Running the Pre-Installation Script on page 14.
• If you prefer to manually add these accounts, use this procedure. You must perform this
procedure on each machine where th e StorNext software is installed. After completing this
procedure, continue with Running the Pre-Installation Script on page 14.
