HP 2 SP4 manual Installing Storage Area Manager

Installing and Uninstalling Storage Area Manager on the SMA

Installing Storage Area Manager

Use the Storage Area Manager CD-ROM to perform installation, not the SMA software.

1.Attach a monitor, keyboard, and optional mouse to the SMA.

2.Insert the Storage Area Manager installation CD into the SMA DVD or CD-ROM drive.

Note: HP strongly recommends installing Storage Area Manager directly on the SMA using the CD-ROM. It is not possible to install Storage Area Manager from a network share if you connect to the SMA using Terminal Services or a remote desktop connection.

3.Follow the instructions in the HP OpenView Storage Area Manager Installation Guide to install the Storage Area Manager server software on the SMA.

Note: If the SMA does not have 10 MB of free disk space, a message is displayed stating there is not enough disk space to locate the database directory and backup directory on the same physical drive. You can ignore this message.

4.Install any required Storage Area Manager patches.

Patches are available from the following website: http://support.openview.hp.com/patches/patch_index.jsp.

5.Optionally, install any or all of the following StorageWorks device plug-ins (DPIs), depending on your hardware environment:

■HSV Controller DPI

Refer to the HP StorageWorks HSV Controller Device Plug-In Installation Instructions.

■Modular Data Router DPI

Refer to the HP StorageWorks Modular Data Router Device Plug-In Installation Instructions.

■MSA1000 and RA4100 Controller DPI

Refer to the HP StorageWorks MSA1000 and RA4100 Controller Device Plug-In

Installation Instructions.

Plug-ins allow Storage Area Manager to discover and manage supported devices, such as the HSV Controller for the EVA storage array. Device plug-ins and supporting

documentation are available from the following website: http://www.openview.hp.com/products/dpi/index.html.

The DPI for the HSG Controller is available on the Storage Area Manager installation CD-ROM and is automatically installed. HP recommends that you routinely check the DPI website for updates.
