Chapter 5: MegaRAID Overview and Installation

For example, to connect to a remote framework on server 192.168.0.10, add the IP address to the end of startupui.bat as shown in this example:

start JRE\bin\javaw -classpath .;GUI.jar GUI.VivaldiStartupDialog ajsgyqkj=71244 192.168.0.10

Be sure to include a space in front of the IP address, as shown in the above example.

5-4 Installing for Linux

Follow these steps if you need to install MegaRAID Storage Manager software on a system running Red Hat Linux or SUSE Linux:

1.Copy the MSM_linux_installer...tar.gz file to a temporary folder.

2.Untar the MSM_linux_installer...tar.gz file using the following command: tar -zxvf MSM_linux_installer...tar.gz

A new disk directory is created.

3.Go to the new disk directory, and in that directory find and read the readme.txt file.

4.To start the installation, enter the following command:

./install.sh

If you select CLIENT installation for a PC used to monitor servers, and if there are no available servers with a registered framework on the local subnet (that is, servers with a complete installation of MegaRAID Storage Manager software), you cannot connect to a remote server unless you first edit the startupui.sh file. Specifically, you must add the IP address of the remote server to the end of the startupui.sh file.

For example, to connect to a remote framework on server 192.168.0.10, add the IP address to startupui.sh as shown in this example:

start JRE\bin\javaw -classpath .;GUI.jar GUI.VivaldiStartupDialog ajsgyqkj=71244 192.168.0.10

Be sure to include a space in front of the IP address, as shown in the above example.

Linux Error Messages

One or more of the following messages may appear while you are installing MegaRAID Storage Manager software on a Linux system:

More than one copy of MegaRAID Storage Manager software has been installed.

This message indicates that the user has installed more than one copy of MegaRAID Storage Manager software. (This can be done by using the rpm-force command to install the rpm file directly, which is not recommended, instead of using the install.sh file.) In such cases, the user must uninstall all the rpm files manually before installing MegaRAID Storage Manager software with the procedure listed previously.
