4.1 SuperCheck Installation
SuperCheck has many component modules, which, depending on your scenario,
may or may not need to be installed on your system. The following “Installation
Scenarios” describe what components are to be installed, and where.
Installation Scenarios
The following installation scenarios each detail a separate software installation
model. Some scenarios are based on a single system, while others involve multiple
systems on a LAN or WAN. Select the scenario(s) which best match your needs,
then follow the installation steps listed for that scenario. Each of these components
may be installed by following the “Common Components” installation procedure
outlined on p.36. Proceed to section 4.2 once installation is complete to begin
“SuperCheck Administration.”
NOTE: All systems with the SuperTrak66 controller will require the Message Agent
software (includes automatic installation of the I
2
O device driver). Additionally, the
component installations that follow require TCP/IP to be already properly installed
on the server system. Chapter 2 contains some information about installing
TCP/IP on Windows NT.
NOTE: While you may install multiple systems with the Message Server software,
Promise recommends against it because the same SuperTrak arrays will be
visible from every instance of the Promise Message Server, causing confusion.
All Scenarios:
1) If the system is on a LAN or WAN, use the IP address for which your
TCP/IP is already configured to establish connections. Otherwise, use
IP address 127.0.0.1 for all your TCP/IP configurations; This address
will allow all TCP/IP requests to remain within the system.
2) Install the Message Agent on the station with SuperTrak66
(automatically installs I
2
O driver component).
3) Reboot the system AFTER all software components have been
installed in order to activate any installed NT services.
To access a SuperTrak system locally
1) Install the Message Server on to this system.
2) Install the Monitoring Utility onto this system.
