Console Installation — This installation procedure is useful for Linux users who do not desire to install
an X-Window environment on their supported Linux platform.
Silent Installation — This installation procedure is useful if you prefer to create scripted installations.

Installing Host Bus Adapters And Drivers

1.
Install the host bus adapters (HBAs).
2.
Connect the cables.
3.
Install the HBA drivers and the operating system HBA patches/hotfixes.
4.
Ensure that the recommended HBA settings are applied.

Graphical Installation (Recommended)

The MD Storage Manager configures, manages, and monitors the storage array. To install the MD storage
manager:
1.
Insert the PowerVault MD Series resource media.
Depending on your operating system, the installer may launch automatically. If the installer does not
launch automatically, navigate to the root directory of the installation media (or downloaded installer
image) and run the md_launcher.exe file. For Linux-based systems, navigate to the root of the
resource media and run the autorun file.
NOTE: By default, Red Hat Enterprise Linux mounts the resource media with the –noexec
mount option which does not allow you to run executable files. To change this setting, see the
Readme file in the root directory of the installation media.
2.
Select Install MD Storage Software.
3.
Read and accept the license agreement.
4.
Select one of the following installation options from the Install Set menu:
– Full (recommended) — Installs the MD Storage Manager (client) software, host-based storage
agent, multipath driver, and hardware providers.
– Host Only — Installs the host-based storage agent and multipath drivers. See Installing MD
Storage Manager.
– Management — Installs the management software and hardware providers.
– Custom — Allows you to select specific components.
NOTE: If you install the MD Storage Manager on a management station that is not connected to
a network or server, only the Management Station option is available.
5.
Choose whether to start the event monitor service manually or automatically, when the host server
reboots.
NOTE: This option is applicable only to Windows client software installation.
6.
Confirm the installation location and click Install.
7.
If prompted, reboot the host server after the installation completes.
