Preparing the server for software installation
Perform the following to prepare for Avamar software installation. These steps include
configuring the primary backup network port and copying bootstrap utility files.
Before you begin
Do not connect any external network cables to a customer network switch at this time.
Connecting external network cables could interfere with the function of the customer's
production network and with Avamar software installation.
Do not try to run either file. EMC personnel will use these files later during Avamar
software installation.
Do not power on cold ADS equipment. The approved operating temperature range is 50°
to 95°F (10° to 35°C), and the typical temperature gradation is 10°C per hour. If the ADS
components have been located in a colder environment, allow time for the equipment to
reach room temperature.
For Gen4S systems, the default primary backup network port is (eth0, Gb1).
Procedure
1. Configure the network switch or switches to which you plan to connect the single-
node Avamar server for a flat layer-2 configuration. Seek the advice of your network
administrator to do this.
2. Connect power to the Avamar server and press the power button on the front of the
node.
3. Connect the laptop as follows:
a. From Start, open Control Panel.
b.
