Linux

Follow these steps if you need to install MegaRAID Storage Manager software on

a system running Red Hat Linux or SUSE Linux:
1. Copy the

MSM_linux_installer...tar.gz

file to a temporary folder.

2. Untar the

MSM_linux_installer...tar.gz

file using the following command:

tar -zxvf MSM_linux_installer...tar.gz

A new

disk

directory is created.

3. Go to the new

disk

directory.

4. In the

disk

directory, find and read the

readme.txt

file.

5. To start the installation, enter the following command:

If you select

Client

installation for a PC used to monitor servers, and if there are no

available servers with a registered framework on the local subnet (that is, servers

with a complete installation of MegaRAID Storage Manager software), the server

screen appears. The server screen does not list any servers. You can use this

screen to manage systems remotely.
