Installing and Uninstalling the SMI-S

Provider

The system requirements to install and run the SMI-S Provider include:

•

Memory requirements—1 GB minimum (2 GB preferred).

•

Connectivity requirements—Ethernet with 100BASE-T minimum

(Gigabit Ethernet preferred), TCP/IP.

•

Port requirements—TCP port 5988 or TCP port 5989, or any other

available port if these ports are not available.

•

Storage array password—The device credentials profile requires the storage

array password (SharedSecret) to modify operations. The SMI-S Provider

persistently tracks an instance of the SharedSecret per storage array.

The SMI-S Provider is packaged as an installation executable file. To install

the SMI-S Provider:

1 Move the SMI-S Provider installation executable file on the server where

you want to install the SMI-S Provider and double-click the installation

executable icon and follow the instructions on the screen.

2 Enter the HostName (s) or IP Address (s) of the MD storage array(s) to be

managed by the host in ArrayHosts.txt, save and close the file.

CAUTION:

Enter only one of the two management ports' IP addresses of each

array in this file. Do not enter the IP addresses of both management ports.

3 Click Finish.

The SMI-S Provider is installed on your system. After installation, you can

delete the installation executable file.
