Fujitsu V3.1 manual Installation and uninstallation, Prerequisites for the Viom installation

3 Installation and uninstallation

You can install the Virtual-IO Manager on a central management station (CMS) under Windows or Linux (see section "Installing the Virtual-IO Man- ager on a Windows-based CMS" on page 58 and "Installing the Virtual-IO Manager on a Linux-based CMS" on page 73).

Please check first the requirements for installing the Virtual-IO Manager on CMS (see section "Prerequisites for the VIOM installation" on page 57).

If a previous version is already installed on the management station, an update installation runs automatically when you install the new version. All previous VIOM configurations and definitions remain the same (see section "Updating the Virtual-IO Manager on a Windows-based CMS" on page 72) and "Updating the Virtual-IO Manager on a Linux-based CMS" on page 89.

If you want to use the command line interface of the Virtual-IO Manager (VIOM CLI), you must install the VIOM CLI software package. You will find details on how to install and use VIOM CLI in the "Virtual-IO Manager Com- mand Line Interface" manual.
