Setup Options

The MegaRAID Storage Manager software enables you to select from one of the following setup options when you install it:

Select the Client radio button if you are installing the MegaRAID Storage Manager software on a computer that will be used to view and configure servers over a network.

To begin installation, click Install on the next window that appears.

In the Client mode of installation, the MegaRAID Storage Manager software installs only client-related components, such as the MegaRAID Storage Manager GUI.

Use this mode when you want to manage and monitor servers remotely. When you install the MegaRAID Storage Manager software in Client mode on a laptop or a desktop, you can log in to a specific server by providing the IP address.

Select the Server radio button to install only those components required for remote server management.

To begin installation, click Install on the next window that appears.

Select the StandAlone radio button if you will use the MegaRAID Storage Manager software to create and manage storage configurations on a stand-alone workstation.

NOTE  If you select Client or Standalone as your setup option, the LDAP Logon Information dialog appears.

To begin installation, click Install on the next window that appears.

Select the Local radio button if you want to view only the workstation that has the MegaRAID Storage Manager software installed.

You will not be able to discover other remote servers and other remote servers will also not be able to connect to your workstation. In a local mode installation, you will be using the loopback address instead of the IP address.

Select the Custom radio button if you want to specify individual program features to install.

If you select Custom, a window listing the installation features appears. Select the features you want on this window.
