Getting Started With Your System 17
To install the MD storage software:
1
Depending on your configuration, insert the resource media in either
the management station or the host server.
Depending on the autorun settings of the operating system, the
Dell PowerVault MD36xxi Resource DVD
window may be displayed or
a prompt may be displayed to run the
md_launcher.exe
file. If the
PowerVault MD launcher is not displayed and there is no prompt to
run the
md_launcher.exe
file, perform the following steps:
– For Windows-based systems, navigate to the root of the resource
media and run the
md_launcher.exe
file.
– For Linux-based systems, navigate to the root of the resource media
and run the
autorun
file.
NOTE: By default, Red Hat Enterprise Linux mounts the resource media with
the –noexec mount option which does not allow you to run executable files.
For more information and to change the settings, see “Release Notes” in
the Readme.txt file. The Readme.txt file is located in the root of the
resource media.
