If applicable, activate any premium features purchased with your storage array. If you purchased
premium features, see the printed activation card shipped with your storage array.

NOTE: The

MD Storage Manager

installer automatically installs the required drivers, firmware,

and operating system patches/hotfixes to operate your storage array. These drivers and
firmware are also available at

Dell.com/support

. In addition, see the

Dell PowerVault MD34xx/

38xx Series Support Matrix

at

Dell.com/support/manuals

for any additional settings and/or

software required for your specific storage array.

Console Installation

NOTE: Console installation only applies to Linux systems that are not running a graphical
environment.

The autorun script in the root of the resource media detects when there is no graphical environment
running and automatically starts the installer in a text-based mode. This mode provides the same options
as graphical installation with the exception of the MDCU specific options. The MDCU requires a graphical
environment to operate.

NOTE: The console mode installer provides the option to install the MDCU. However, a graphical
environment is required to use the MDCU.

Silent Installation

Silent Installation On Windows Systems

To run silent installation on a Windows system:

1.

Copy the

custom_silent.properties

file in the

/windows

folder of the installation media or image to a

writable location on the host server.

2.

Modify the

custom_silent.properties

file to reflect the features, models, and installation options to

be used. Then, save the file.

3.

Once the

custom_silent.properties

file is revised to reflect your specific installation, run the

following command to begin the silent installation: mdss_install.exe –f <host_server_path>\

custom_silent.properties.

Silent Installation On Linux Systems

NOTE: On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 operating systems, run the following script from the root

directory to install prerequisite packages:

# md_prereq_install.sh

.

1.

Copy the

custom_silent.properties

file in the

/linux

folder of the installation media or image to a

writable location on the host server.

2.

Modify the

custom_silent.properties

file to reflect the features, models, and installation options to

be used. Then, save the file.

3.

Once the

custom_silent.properties

file is revised to reflect your specific installation, run the

following command to begin the silent installation:mdss_install.bin –f <host_server_path>/
custom_silent.properties.
