Unpack the installer package. For example, type: #gunzip ibm_utl_srapp_8.30_solaris10_i386.tgz #tar -xvf ibm_utl_srapp_8.30_solaris10_i386.tgz 2. Use the 'pkgadd' command to install the ServeRAID Manager package: #pkgadd -d . NOTE: The '.' represents the current working directory--the directory where the package was unpacked. 3. Follow the instructions in the installer program. o To run the ServeRAID Manager on Sun Solaris: 1. Go to /usr/RaidMan 2. Type: ./RaidMan.sh 2.2 Setup notes ________________ o The ServeRAID Manager generates log files automatically to assist in tracking ServeRAID activity. The log files are created in the directory where the ServeRAID Manager is installed. * RaidEvt.log - Contains the information reported in the ServeRAID Manager event viewer for all local and remote systems. * RaidEvtA.log - Contains the information reported in the ServeRAID Manager event viewer for the local system. * RaidNot.log - Contains the information reported in the Notification Manager event viewer. * RaidErr.log - Contains Java messages generated by the ServeRAID Manager. * RaidErrA.log - Contains Java messages generated by the ServeRAID Manager agent. Information written to these files is appended to the existing files to maintain a history. However, if any of the files reach a size of 5 Mbytes, the file is copied to a new file with the extension .OLD and the original (that is, the LOG file) is deleted and recreated. If a .OLD file already exists, the existing .OLD file is destroyed. o You can configure ServeRAID Manager settings on other servers exactly as they are configured on one server. To replicate the ServeRAID Manager tree and notification list, do the following: 1. Install the ServeRAID Manager on one server. 2. Start the ServeRAID Manager. Using the 'Add remote system' action, define the servers for your tree. 3. Open the Notification Manager. Using the 'Add system' action, define the notification list. 4. Exit the ServeRAID Manager. 5. Copy the following files onto a diskette from the directory where the ServeRAID Manager is installed: RaidMSys.ser --> to replicate the tree RaidNLst.ser --> to replicate the notification list RaidSMTP.ser --> to replicate the SMTP e-mail notification list RaidJob.ser --> to replicate the jobs in the Task Scheduler 6. Install the ServeRAID Manager on the other servers. 7. Copy the files from the diskette into the directory where the ServeRAID Manager is installed on the other servers. 3.0 Troubleshooting tips _________________________ o The ServeRAID Manager supports a minimum of 256 colors. o If the ServeRAID Manager console does not repaint correctly, select the View->Refresh menu item to repaint the screen. 4.0 Web Sites and Support Phone Number _______________________________________ o You can download new and updated files for the IBM ServeRAID products from the IBM Support Web site: http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ o For the latest list of supported operating systems, see the IBM Server Proven - SCSI and RAID Controllers Web site: http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/compat/controllers/matrix.html For supported operating systems on legacy (non-shipping) controllers, see: http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/compat/machines/index.html o With the original purchase of an IBM hardware product, you have access to extensive support coverage.
