3.4 Software Setup
This section discusses how to install RAIDWatch in your system. Before
proceeding with the setup procedure, read through the Before You Start
section below. The sections follow will explain how to install RAIDWatch
in different operation systems.
3.4.1 Before You Start
Before starting the installation, read through the notes listed below:
♦ TCP/IP must be installed and running with a valid IP address assigned to
a server. The server can either be used as a centralized management
station, a remote client using a browser to access the array, or directly
attached with a RAID subsystem using the in-band protocols.
♦ Your system display must be running in 16K colors or higher mode
otherwise some configuration items may not be visible.
♦ Be certain that your system meets the minimum hardware and software
requirements listed in Section 3.1 System Requirements.
♦ Check to confirm that the RAID disk arrays and controllers are installed
properly. For the installation procedure, see the documentation that came
with the controller/subsystems.
♦ Follow the directions provided in the Section 3.3 Platform
Requirements, and prepare for installation and operation under different
OS environments.
3.4.2 Installing RAIDWatch on a Windows Platform
If you are running a Windows platform on the server computer follow these
steps to install RAIDWatch on your server(s) and RAID subsystem:
Step 1. Insert the Infortrend Product Utility CD or RAIDWatch installation
CD into the system’s optical drive.
Step 2. If you are currently running other applications, close them before
proceeding with the setup process. This will minimize the possibility
of encountering system errors during setup.
Step 3. The RAIDWatch installer program is included on the CD-ROM that
came with your RAID controller or subsystem. An auto-run screen
provides a hot link to the installer program. (See Figure 3-1) Click
“Install RAIDWatch.”
