Installing maxView Storage Manager
This section describes how to install and uninstall maxView Storage Manager on different operating
systems. It also describes how to run maxView Storage Manager in bootable DVD mode, before the
application is installed on an operating system.
Before You Begin the Installation
Before you begin your installation, prepare the following information:
• Administrator account user name and password for your operating system.
• CIM Server port number. The default port is recommended (5988). If you want to use a different
port, select any one between 65500 and 65535 and it will be assigned as the CIM Server http port
for maxView Storage Manager installation. (The selected port must be free at installation time.) The
installation will verify the availability of this port. There is no guarantee that any port number besides
the default will work in the future as any other application can claim this port. For more information
on the CIM Server, see
About the maxView Storage Manager CIM Server
on page 15.
• maxView Web Server port number. The default port is recommended (8443). If the default port is
not available, another port number will be automatically assigned. For more information on the
Web Server, see
About the maxView Storage Manager Web Server
on page 15.
Note: If a previous version of maxView Storage Manager is installed on your system,
you must remove it before beginning a new installation. See
