Installing MegaRAID Storage Manager Software on RHEL or SLES/SUSE Linux

To install MegaRAID Storage Manager software on a system running Red Hat Linux 3.0/4.0/5.0 or SUSE Linux/SLES 9 and 10, follow these steps:

  1. Copy the MSM_linux_installer...tar.gz file to a temporary folder.
  2. Extract the file MSM_linux_installer.....tar.gz using the following command:
  3. tar -zxvf MSM_linux_installer...tar.gz
    This creates a new disk directory.
  4. Go to the new disk directory.
  5. In the disk directory, find and read the readme.txt file.
  6. Install the software using either interactive mode or non-interactive (silent) mode:
    1. To install the software using interactive mode, execute the command ./install.sh from the installation disk.
    2. To install the product in a non-interactive or silent mode, use the command ./install.sh [-options] [ -ru popup] from the installation disk.
    3. The installation options are:
      • a - Complete installation - This installs all the features of the product.
      • c - Client Component Only - The storelib feature of the product are not installed in this type of installation. As a result, the resident system can only administer and configure all of the servers in the subnet, but it cannot serve as a server.
      • s - StandAlone - Only the networking feature is not installed in this case, so the resident system is not a part of the network. This means the system cannot browse any other MSM servers in the subnet, and the MSM servers cannot will recognize it as a server.
      • The -ru popup command removes popup from installation list.

You can also run non-interactive installation using the RunRPM.sh command. This installation helps you select any of the setup types, but if you run RunRPM.sh, it installs the complete feature.
