4.7.1 Installing Storage Manager in a Windows Server 2008 host
This section covers a guided installation of the Storage Manager V10.60 software in a
Windows Server 2008 host environment. You can use it as a reference also for installing on
other environments as well.
The host software for Windows includes the following components:
SMclient
Multipath driver
SMagent
SMutil
Perform the following steps:
1. Because you are installing new software, including new drivers, you need to log on with
administrator rights.
2. Locate and run the installation executable file, either in the appropriate CD-ROM directory,
or the file that you have downloaded from the IBM support Web site. Once executed,
select your language of choice. After the introduction and copyright statement windows,
you are asked to accept the terms of the license agreement. This is required to proceed
with the installation.
3. The next step is to select the installation target directory. The default installation path is
C:\Program Files\IBM_DS, but you can select another directory.
Note: Before installing your DS5000 storage subsystem hardware and software, be sure to
meet all the requirements for your DS5000 model: HBAs, firmware version, SAN, and OS
level, as specified at the IBM Support Web site.
