This section provides an overview of the installation and configuration of the
CIM agent on a Windows Server 2003 system. Ensure that you have
sufficient knowledge of how to administer a Windows Server 2003 system
before you install the CIM agent. Also, you should be familiar with the
commands that you use during installation and configuration of the CIM
agent. The following list of installation and configuration tasks is in the order
in which they should be performed:
1. Before you install the CIM agent for Windows, verify the hardware and
software requirements.
2. If you are managing ESS storage units, you must install the
prerequisite ESS CLI level 2.4.0.236 (or higher) software. The ESS
CLI must be installed first because the CIM agent sets the path
information in shell scripts for you based on the location of the ESS
CLI. The CIM agent installation wizard checks your system for the
existence of the ESS CLI, and the wizard displays a warning message
if ESS CLI is not installed. For ESS CLI installation instructions, see
the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server Command-Line
Interfaces User’s Guide. This guide is available at:
http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/f2bcli04.pdf
Attention: If you are upgrading from a previous version of the CIM
agent, you must upgrade the ESS CLI software to the new required
minimum level of 2.4.0.236.
3. You can choose to install the CIM agent either in graphical mode with
the help of an installation wizard or in unattended mode (also known
as silent mode), which involves customizing a response file and
issuing a command.
4. Verify the CIM agent Windows installation.
5. Configure the CIM agent for Windows. You may want to revisit the
configuration section in the future as you add, change, or delete
CIMOM authentication and storage unit information.
6. Verify the connection to your storage unit.
7. Optionally, remove the CIM agent. You only need to perform this
optional task if you get errors during installation verification or if the
CIM agent did not set the environment variables.
