Chapter 2 Installation and Startup
For complete installation and startup information, see the PDF version of the Spheras Storage Director Software:
Installation and User’s Guide located on the distribution CD ROM.
This section assumes that the network administrator for your site will be performing these installation procedures.
Before installing the Spheras Storage Director Server and Client, read 1.4.3 Spheras Storage Director Requirements on
page 15 section. This checklist provides you with important hardware, software, and performance-related suggestions.
If you want to update your Spheras Storage Director software, go to 2.7 Updating Your Spheras Storage Director Server
and Client on page 41.
2.1 Pre-Installation requirements
Spheras Storage Director Server Requirement
You must install one of the supported HTTP servers before installing the Spheras Storage Director Server. (For a list of
the supported HTTP servers, see 1.4.4 Server Requirements on page 15.) An HTTP server is used for a remote system to
download and execute the Spheras Storage Director Client applet. The HTTP server allows a Spheras Storage Director
Server to be remotely accessed by various client computers.
Note: On Solaris systems, the Apache HTTP server is included on the installation CDs and is commonly installed
when the Solaris operating system is installed.
It is outside the scope of this document to describe the installation of an HTTP server. See your HTTP server
documentation for installation instructions. See Figure 1 Spheras Storage Director Client and Server Relationship on
page 14 for more information about the relationship between the server and client.
2.1.1
Spheras Storage Director Client Requirement
Before installing the Spheras Storage Director Client, ensure that a web browser is installed on the client system. For a
list of supported browsers, see 1.4.5 Client Requirements on page 15. Launch the browser to ensure that it is working.
If not, consult your browser installation manual for troubleshooting information.
2.1.2
General Recommendations and Requirements
Important! This section contains requirements and recommendations to ensure proper operation and optimum
performance of the Spheras Storage Director software.
You must install Spheras Storage Director Software on a system that is running a supported operating system. For detail
on supported systems, see 1.4.3 Spheras Storage Director Requirements on page 15.
The Spheras Storage Director Client can use any network connection. However, for optimum performance, it is
recommended that you use a network connection that provides a 100Base-T or better data transfer rate.
If you have multiple HTTP servers installed on the same system, they must be configured to communicate on different
ports. Otherwise, the Spheras Storage Director client may not start.
For optimum performance, the server component and the client component should be installed on physically separate
systems. While it is possible to install the server and client components on the same system; it is not recommended and
may cause performance-related problems.
