Chapter 1 Installing StorNext File System and Storage Manager

Pre-Installation Script

•What is the maximum number of directories expected (in millions)?

•What is the maximum number of files expected (in millions)?

•How many copies will be stored for each file?

•How many versions will be retained for each file?

Note: Keep in mind that storage needs typically grow rapidly. Consider increasing the maximum number of expected directories and files by a factor of 2.5x to ensure room for future growth.

	Note: The pre-installation script ignores unmounted file systems.
	Before running snPreInstall, be sure to mount all local file
	systems that will hold StorNext support information.
	To run the pre-installation script, use the StorNext installation CD.
Running snPreInstall

1 Log on to the MDC as root.

2 Mount the StorNext installation CD and change to the CD root directory.

3 List the installation directories on the CD. At the command prompt, type:

ls -l

./snPreInstall

The pre-installation script runs (figure 1).
