Network Requirements
If you plan to install PAM on a network be sure all the hosts and servers are connected and running. That is, each of the PCs, RAIDs and Servers must have a working network connection before you install PAM.
In order for PAM to be configured over a network, you must know the IP (network) address of the RAID PC(s) in your system. The Message Server uses IP addresses to communicate with the Message Agent on the RAID PCs and the Monitoring Utility on the network PCs.
See the Appendix C for help in finding the IP Address of the RAID PC.
