Although StorNext FS is the core file system technology used in SNMS, ADIC supports StorNext FS as a standalone product.

Intended Audience

This guide is intended for system administrators and service personnel that would install the SNMS and StorNext FS software.

StorNext FS primarily provides Fibre Channel (FC) connections (but also supports

How This Book is Organized

To accommodate the installation and configuration differences between SNMS and StorNext FS, this guide is divided into three main chapters: Installing SNMS, Installing StorNext FS on UNIX, and Installing StorNext FS on Windows.

If you purchased the SNMS product, follow the instructions in the Installing SNMS chapter. The chapter also guides you through the steps for adding a file system, so you do not need to follow the instructions for installing StorNext FS in the other chapters of this guide.

If you purchased the StorNext FS product, and depending on your operating system, follow the instructions in either the Installing StorNext FS on UNIX or the Installing StorNext FS on Windows chapters. The chapters only explain how to install the file system, so if you decide to purchase the SNMS product at a later time, you will need to contact your ADIC sales representative or ADIC Technical Assistance Center (ATAC) for assistance.

StorNext SM consists of two components formerly known as FileServ (TSM) and VolServ (MSM). StorNext SM provides high-performance file migration and management services, and manages automated and manual media libraries, including library volumes. StorNext FS consists of a single component, formerly known as CentraVision (DSM).

Installing SNMS

You can install the StorNext Management Suite (SNMS) software on a server that uses an SGI IRIX, Sun Solaris, or Linux operating system. When you have successfully installed the SNMS software, use the Initial Configuration Wizard (ICW) to configure the software. (After initial configuration, you can use the SNMS GUI to change your configuration parameters.) You are then ready to use the SNMS software.

You can also run the SNMS software on a client machine by downloading the client files from the server and then installing them on your client. You can install client files on machines that use an IRIX, Solaris, Linux, IBM AIX, or Windows (2000 and NT) operating system.

CAUTION

If you purchased the StorNext Management Suite (SNMS) product, you must use the installation instructions in this chapter to successfully install SNMS on your machine. You do not need to use the installation instructions in the other chapters of this guide.

Determining Installation Requirements

Before installing SNMS on any machine, refer to the StorNext Management Suite Release Notes to verify that you have complied with all the necessary requirements for running the software on your specific operating systems.

To learn more about advanced configuration and features such as failover, refer to the StorNext Management Suite System Administrator Guide.

Using the Optional Pre-Installation Configuration

SNMS requires the user accounts tdlm and www to exist in the passwd file, and the group account adic to exist in the group file. During installation, SNMS uses a system utility to create these

accounts if it cannot find them.

• If you want the system utility to create the accounts, skip this section and go to the

Installing SNMS Software section in this document.

• If you prefer to manually add these accounts, use the procedure described here. You must not only perform this procedure for each machine where you install the SNMS software, but also on each machine that you set up as a client (refer to the section in this document). After you have completed this optional step, continue to the

Installing StorNext FS on Windows

You can install the StorNext File System (StorNext FS) software on a Windows machine that uses either a Windows 2000 or Windows NT operating system. Once you have successfully installed the StorNext FS software on your server, you should obtain a license for your server, label your drives, and configure the software. (After initial configuration, you can use the StorNext FS GUI to change your configuration parameters.) You are then ready to use the StorNext FS software.

You can also run the StorNext FS software on a client machine by downloading the client files from the server and then installing them on your client.

CAUTION

If you purchased the StorNext File System (StorNext FS) product for Windows, you must use the installation instructions in this chapter to successfully install StorNext FS on your Windows machine. You do not need to use the installation instructions in the other chapters of this guide unless you purchase the StorNext FS for UNIX product (refer to Installing StorNext FS on UNIX Management Suite product (refer toInstalling SNMS

on page 3-1) or the StorNext

on page 2-1).

Determining Installation Requirements

Before installing StorNext FS on any machine, refer to the StorNext Management Suite Release Notes to verify that you have complied with all the necessary requirements for running the

software on your specific operating system.

To learn more about advanced configurations and features like failover, refer to the StorNext Management Suite System Administrator Guide.

Installing StorNext FS Software

If you purchased the StorNext FS product, use the following procedure to install the StorNext FS software in your Windows operating environment. Both server and client files are loaded on your machine during the installation process.

Step 1 Designate one Windows machine as your server.

Step 2 Insert the CD that is appropriate for your operating system into the drive.

Step 3 Click the My Computer icon on your desktop.

Installing StorNext FS on Windows 4-1

SNMS

Step 4 Select and click the name of the drive that contains the CD.

Step 5 Open the StorNext folder and select the win2k or WinNT folder as appropriate.

CAUTION

Step 6 Click the installation procedure you want and follow the online instructions.

• Install the base and service files onto the machine you have designated as your server.

• Install the base and client files onto all machines set up as StorNext FS clients.

NOTE

Step 7 After the installation is complete, remove the CD from the drive.

Step 8 Restart the machine.

To install StorNext File System with Terminal Server, use the Add/ Remove Programs function provided by Windows to ensure that the file system drivers are installed in the correct system path (usually c:\wtsrv\system32\drivers) on your machine. After the entire installation process has completed, then reboot your machine.

This procedure assumes the default directory for installing StorNext FS files is

C:\SNFS. If you want to use another directory location, replace all references to C:\SNFS in this procedure with the specific location used.

Obtaining a License

Use the following procedure to obtain a valid license file.

Step 1 Run the StorNext FS license host identifier by clicking Start and using Programs >

StorNext File System > License Identifier.

Step 2 Send an e-mail with the ID string and number of client machines to the ADIC Technical

Assistance Center (ATAC) at call ATAC for assistance (see Customer Assistance on page 5-1).

A technical support representative will respond with a license.dat file.

Step 3 Place license.dat in the C:\snfs\config directory on the server.

NOTE

SNMS

Labeling Drives

You must label each drive to be used by StorNext FS. A new drive needs to be labeled only once. This can be done from any Stornext FS client with a Fibre Channel connection to the drive.

Use the following procedure to label each drive to be used by StorNext FS.

CAUTION

Step 1 On any StorNext FS client, click Start and select Programs > StorNext File System >

Disk Device Labeler.

Step 2 Inside the Disk Device Labeler window, use the mouse to highlight unused drives or

drives that do not have a recognized Volume Type.

CAUTION

Step 3 With the drives highlighted, click Label, and then click OK to confirm the operation.

Step 4 For each drive, use the New SNFS Label text box to enter a Label Name.

You can create any convention for the label names. For example, you could type CvfsDisk[n] for each label name, replacing [n] with a decimal number starting at 0 and incrementing for each drive, and the label names would be as follows: CvfsDisk0, CvfsDisk1, CvfsDisk2, etc.

Step 5 In the New Sectors text box, use either the default value of the Total Number of Physical

Sectors, or enter a new size tailored for your application.

The process of disk drive labeling re-partitions the drives. Therefore, if you select an incorrect drive, you may invalidate your operating system or lose non-StorNext data.

Make sure you identify any drives that already contain a recognized Volume Type. If you select an incorrect drive, you may invalidate your operating system or lose non-StorNext data.

Step 6 For the remaining StorNext FS drives, repeat Step 4 and Step 5.

Step 7 When done, click Label.
