Installation and configuration outline

RM installation and configuration consists of the following tasks. Task
details appear in the subsequent sections.

• Installing RAID Manager

Install the RM software on the hosts.

• Configuring the services and hosts files

Add a service name/number to the host services file (for example,
/etc/services) for each RM instance. Configure the hosts file.

• Setting up the RM instance configuration file

Configure paths to one or more RM command devices for each host.
All hosts and RM instances can use the same command device for a
given disk array. However, it is recommended that each host have its
own command device.

• Starting the instances

Set the necesary environment variables to issue commands to the
desired RM instance.
