Installing the Software on a Microsoft Windows Host |
This chapter provides procedures for installing Sun StorEdge Configuration Service, Sun StorEdge Diagnostic Reporter, and the Sun StorEdge Command-Line Interface (CLI) on a 2.5 host. Topics covered in this chapter are as follows:
This section lists the system requirements for a Microsoft Windows host.
Sun StorEdge Configuration Service includes the following components:
| Note - Before installing Sun StorEdge Configuration Service, be sure to read the release notes for your array. |
Because the communication protocol changes from version to version, you must install both the agent and console when upgrading. If different versions of the agent and console co-exist, Sun StorEdge Configuration Service is not able to discover previously configured arrays.
Sun StorEdge Configuration Service, Sun StorEdge Diagnostic Reporter, and the CLI are included in one installer program. The installation package, setup.exe, is contained on the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Professional Storage Manager CD. See Installing the Software From the CD or continue with the steps below to download the software from the Sun Download Center web site.

The following sections explain how to create users and passwords.
Administrative functions require access logins and passwords to prevent the possibility of one administrator reallocating or removing storage resources belonging to other clients and hosts without authorization.
You assign separate passwords for the three levels of security. You do this by setting up three users on the agents that have storage devices that are managed by the program.
The security levels must have these exact names:
Represents the monitoring level of the software.
Represents the administration level of the software and provides access to the Rebuild, Parity Check, and Schedule Parity Check functions, as well as monitoring.
Represents the configuration level of the software and gives the installer direct access to the configuration functions and all other related aspects of the program.
These names are required for the three security levels. After installation, you must assign a password to each security name.
| Note - In the event that one of these usernames is already in use, either modify the existing username, use one of the other Sun StorEdge Configuration Service usernames, or combine the two roles. |
The ssmon, ssadmin, and ssconfig names are logins that correspond only to security levels within the program.
You can set up Sun StorEdge Configuration Service so that monitoring does not require users to enter the ssmon password. To do so, select the Auto Discovery option when the hosts are added to the Managed Servers list at the console. You can set up these three logins and passwords locally on each host. (The accounts can have different passwords on each host.)
Once you have set up these three logins on the agents to be managed, the system administrator then typically provides user access to the program by assigning employees appropriate passwords, which are based on the level of security required to complete tasks. For example, everyone who has administration privileges on a particular host would be assigned the same password that was established for the user ssadmin.
| Note - To add servers to the Managed Servers list, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Configuration Service User’s Guide. |
If you have a large network and do not want to set up logins individually, and it is acceptable to have the same passwords on multiple hosts, you can establish the three logins on a domain server under Microsoft Windows. As a result, all other servers within the Microsoft Windows domain can access the three logins along with their respective passwords.
