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 the StorNext software is installed. After completing this procedure, continue with Running the Pre-Installation Script on page 14.

1Add the following user accounts tdlm and www to your metadata server.
