# DISPLAY=mgt_server.your_net:0.0; export DISPLAY
Uninstall all previous versions of the Sun StorageTek Configuration Service management software prior to the Common Array Manager 5.0 release.
The following table shows the location of the files and logs for the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager software.
TABLE 2-3 summarizes the commands you need to install the management software using either a GUI wizard or a CLI script.
If you are using the Solaris operating system and a path is not defined, use ./ to run the commands (./RunMe.bin).
If you are using a Windows platform, if the command alone does not work, add .\ to run the commands (.\RunMe.bat).
You can use a wizard to install the Common Array Manager software on a SPARC system running the Solaris 8, 9, or 10 Operating System, or on an X86 or X64 System running the Solaris Operating System.
The array installation files and installers are provided in a compressed .bin file on the CD.
The process unpacks the contents of the file on the host and then proceeds with the installation.
Note - Before you continue, check that all of the requirements are met, as listed in Checking Installation Requirements. |
