Chapter 6: MegaRAID Storage Manager Overview and Installation

Installing MegaRAID Storage Manager

The -ru popup command removes the pop-up from the installation list.

You also can run a non-interactive installation using the RunRPM.sh command.

The installer offers the following setup options:

Complete – This installs all the features of the product.

Client Components Only – The storelib feature of the product is not installed in
this type of installation. As a result, the resident system can only administer and
configure all of the servers in the subnet, but it cannot serve as a server.

StandAlone – Only the networking feature will not be installed in this case. But the
system can discover other servers in the subnet and can be discovered by the other
servers in the subnet.

Local - This option enables you to view only the workstation that has the MegaRAID
Storage Manager software installed. You will not be able to discover other remote
servers and other remote servers will also not be able to connect to your
workstation. In a local mode installation, you will be using the loopback address
instead of the IP address.

This installation helps you select any of the setup types, but if you run RunRPM.sh, it
installs the complete feature.

Linux Error Messages

The following messages can appear while you are installing the MegaRAID Storage
Manager software on a Linux operating system:

More than one copy of MegaRAID Storage Manager software

has been installed.

This message indicates that the user has installed more than one copy of the
MegaRAID Storage Manager software. (This step can be done by using the
rpm-force

command to install the rpm file directly, which is not recommended,

instead of using the install.sh file.) In such cases, the user must uninstall all of
the rpm files manually before installing the MegaRAID Storage Manager software
with the procedure listed previously.
