Installing and Starting the Software |
The Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software must be installed on every system that will be part of your storage space. This chapter describes how to install and start the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software. The chapter contains the following sections:
To install the software, obtain the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager CD from the HBA ship kit and follow the installation instructions for your OS:
| Note - To obtain the latest version of the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software, go to http://support.intel.com/support/go/sunraid.htm. |
| Note - Advanced users--To install the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software with the VMware technology, see Installing On VMware Technology. Although the Sun StorageTek RAID Manger GUI is not supported, performing this task will install the command-line interface (CLI), which allows RAID management. |
This section describes how to install the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software on systems running the Windows OS. See System Requirements for a list of the minimum supported OS.
| Note - You need administrator or root privileges to install the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software. For details on verifying privileges, refer to your OS documentation. |
If a previous version of the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software is installed on the system, you must remove it before beginning this installation. To uninstall the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software, use the Add/Remove Programs option in the Windows Control Panel.
| Note - Advanced users--To perform a silent installation, follow the instructions on Performing a Silent Windows Installation (Advanced). |
1. Insert the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager Installation CD.
The Installation wizard opens automatically. (If it does not open, browse to the CD in Windows Explorer, then click Autorun.)
2. Select Internal RAID Controller Setup or Custom Setup (advanced users only), and click Next.
3. Click Next to begin the installation, click I accept..., then click Next.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
5. Repeat these Step 1 to Step 4 in order to install the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software on every Windows system that will be part of your storage space.
6. Continue with To Start the Software on the Windows OS.
A silent installation uses command-line parameters to complete an installation without messages or user interaction.
1. Insert the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager Installation CD.
2. Open a command prompt window and change to the CD directory.
3. Install the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software by typing the following at the command line:
setup.exe /s /v" /qn properties"
where properties is one or more of the options listed in TABLE 2-1. Separate the properties with spaces; separate feature names for the ADDLOCAL property with commas (see examples on Example Command-Line Installations).
|
Specifies the installation path. If you are specifying the installation path, it must be set for a command-line install, and must be enclosed in escaped quotation marks. For example: INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program Files\Sun\Sun StorageTek RAID Manager\" Note: If you do not explicitly set the installation path, the default path is C:\Program Files\Sun\Sun StorageTek RAID Manager |
|
|
Note: Use commas to separate multiple values.
|
|
Note: A reboot is only forced by the Sun installer if you have installed Manager or DSM, or if any files cannot be overwritten. |
4. After a minute or two, the silent installation will complete and the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software icon will be accessible.
setup.exe /s /v" /qn ADDLOCAL=Manager,ASMReadme,SNMPSupport"
setup.exe /s /v" /qn ADDLOCAL=Manager REBOOT=ReallySupress"
setup.exe /s /v" /qn ADDLOCAL=Manager, ASMReadme, SNMPSupport, CLITools REBOOT=Force"
setup.exe /s /v" /qn ADDLOCAL=CLITools REBOOT=ReallySuppress"
setup.exe /s /v" /qn ADDLOCAL=Manager INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Sun StorageTek RAID Manager\""
start /WAIT setup.exe /w /s /v" /qn ADDLOCAL=Manager REBOOT=ReallySupress"
This section describes how to install the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software on systems running the Linux OS. See System Requirements for a list of the minimum supported OS.
The Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software includes the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
1. Insert the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager Installation CD.
2. Mount the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager Installation CD:
For Red Hat: mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
For SUSE: mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
3. Change to the cdrom directory:
For Red Hat: cd /mnt/cdrom/linux/manager
For SUSE: cd /media/cdrom/linux/manager
4. Extract the RPM package and install it:
5. Unmount the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager Installation CD:
For Red Hat: umount /mnt/cdrom
6. Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 to install the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software on every Linux system that will be part of your storage space.
7. Continue with To Start the Software on the Linux OS.
1. Insert the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager Installation CD.
The CD mounts automatically. (If it does not, manually mount the CD using a command similar to the one shown in this step. Refer to your OS documentation for detailed instructions.)
mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2 /mnt
2. Install the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software:
pkgadd -d/mount-point/solaris/manager/StorMan.pkg

4. Eject or unmount the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager Installation CD.
Refer to your OS documentation for detailed instructions.
| Note - The Sun StorageTek RAID Manager graphical user interface (GUI) is not supported with the VMware technology. To configure your storage space with the VMware technology, use the command-line interface (CLI) and the BIOS Configuration Utility. The CLI is installed as part of the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software installation. For more information about the CLI, see the Uniform Command-Line Interface User’s Guide at: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/stortek.raid.hba#hic |
1. Mount the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager Installation CD:
mount -r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
2. Change to the cdrom directory:
3. Extract the Linux Sun StorageTek RAID Manager RPM package and install it:
| Note - Ignore the note that says “Application can be started by typing /usr/StorMan/StorMan.sh". The console has no graphical capability. |
4. Use the command-line interface utility, arcconf, included with the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software to configure and manage disk drives.
For more information, see the Uniform Command-Line Interface User’s Guide available at: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/stortek.raid.hba#hic

When you log into the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software, your permission level is identical to your OS permission level. For example, if you have administrator permissions on your OS, you also have administrator permissions in the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software.
This section describes the three different permission levels.
Logging in as an Administrator allows you full access to manage and modify the HBAs, disk drives, and logical drives that are part of your storage space.
Logging in as a User partially restricts your access to the storage space, as described in this table.
|
Access the same information as Guests (see the following section) |
Use your normal network user name and password at the Login window.
Logging in as a Guest restricts your access to the storage space to view-only.
