NOTE:
This option is applicable only to Windows client software installation.
7 Confirm the installation location and choose Install.
8 If prompted, reboot the host server once the installation completes.
9 Start MD Storage Manager and discover the array(s).
10 If applicable, activate any premium features purchased with your storage
array.
If you purchased premium features, see the printed activation card
shipped with your storage array.
NOTE:
The MD Storage Manager installer automatically installs the required
drivers, firmware, and operating system patches/hotfixes to operate your storage
array. These drivers and firmware are also available at support.dell.com. See the
Support Matrix at support.dell.com/manuals for any additional settings and/or
software required for your specific storage array.
Console Installation
NOTE:
Console installation only applies to Linux systems that are not running a
graphical environment.
The autorun script in the root of the resource media detects when there is no
graphical environment running and automatically starts the installer in a
text-based mode. This mode provides the same options as graphical installation.
Silent Installation
To run silent installation on a Windows system:
1 Copy the custom_silent.properties file in the /windows folder of the
installation media or image to a writable location on the host server.
2 Modify the custom_silent.properties file to reflect the features, models
and installation options to be used. Then, save the file.
3 Once the custom_silent.properties file is revised to reflect your specific
installation, run the following command to begin the silent installation:
mdss_install.exe –f <host_server_path>\
custom_silent.properties
To run silent installation on a Linux system:
NOTE: On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 operating systems, run the following
script from the root directory to install prerequisite packages.
