the terms and conditions of this License, ADIC hereby grants to Licensee a personal,
non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use and copy the Software. A separate
license is required for use of each Software program on each Designated Computer.

Licensee for normal, customary internal data processing, and specifically excludes
Licensee's time-sharing or the rental of the Software or use of the Software in the
development or marketing of a competitive or compatible product. No right to use,
print, copy or display the Software or Documentation, in whole or in part, is granted
hereby except as expressly provided in this License.
c. Copying. Licensee may make one (1) copy of the Software in a non-printed, machine-

b. Title to Software. The Software and all copies thereof (except for any embedded third
party software) are proprietary to ADIC and title thereto remains in ADIC. All

Software. All programs or copies developed by or for the Licensee in violation of this
License, including translations, compilations, partial copies with modifications and
up-dated works, are the property of ADIC.
e. Responsibility. Licensee has sole responsibility for use of the program and any
information entered, used, or stored thereon. This responsibility includes protection of

Warranty and Warranty Servicing
a. Warranty. ADIC warrants that for a period of ninety (90) days from installation the
Software will conform to all substantial operational features in ADIC's current
published specifications and will be free of defects which substantially affect
performance of the Software. ADIC does not warrant that the Software will meet the
Licensee’s requirements or that the operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or
error free.
b. Compatibility. It is the intent of ADIC to provide Software which is compatible with
the current releases of common computer operating systems, however, ADIC does not
warrant that the Software is compatible with the current releases of all operating
systems, nor that the Software, including any future Releases, will be made
compatible with new releases of the operating system within a specified amount of
time, or at all. At Licensee's request, ADIC will notify Licensee of the version level
of the operating system with which the current version of the Software is intended to
be compatible, and the version level of operating systems for which a subsequent
release of the Software is intended to be compatible.
c. Warranty Servicing. The Licensee must notify ADIC in writing, within ninety (90)
days after installation of the Software of Licensee’s claim of any defect. If the
Software is found defective by ADIC, ADIC’s sole obligation under this warranty is
for ADIC, at its option, either to correct, in a manner consistent with ADIC's regular
support practices, any defect in the Software or to accept the return of the Software.
Where Software is returned for claims made during the warranty period, Licensee
will be provided a full refund for the Software and related products sold under the
same Purchase Agreement.
d. Warranty Exclusions. This warranty is made void if the Licensee or any other third
party makes any modifications to the Software. Licensee will pay ADIC for
corrections necessitated by difficulties or defects traceable to Licensee's errors or
system changes in accordance with ADIC's then current standard time and material
charges.
License Agreement vii
SNMS
e. Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY
STATED ABOVE, ADIC MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
FOR THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
f. Third Party Warranties. No reseller or distributor of the Software who may have
participated in offering, demonstrating, promoting or delivering the Software subject
to this License makes any warranty whatsoever. All limitations and exclusions of
warranty, disclaimers of warranty, limitations of damages and remedies are as set
forth hereinabove and the terms of all portions of this License apply to such reseller or
distributor to the full extent applicable to ADIC.
Maintenance
Maintenance, enhancements and Updates for the Software are not covered under this
License. If desired by the Licensee, such services must be provided for under separate
agreement.
Infringement Indemnification
a. ADIC will defend, indemnify, save, and hold Licensee harmless against claims,
demands, liability, damages, and judgments which are finally adjudicated, including
attorney's fees and court costs arising or resulting directly from any claim, suit or
litigation brought against Licensee based on infringement of any U. S. patent or
copyright by the Software (except that indemnification does not apply to any third
party software which may be embedded therein), provided, however, that such
indemnity is conditioned upon receipt by ADIC of prompt notification in writing of
such claim and that Licensee provides continuing information and reasonable
assistance for the defense and settlement of any claim. ADIC will retain attorneys, as
deemed necessary, and conduct the defense and settlement of such claim. ADIC may,
at its own expense and at its option, either (1) procure for Licensee the right to
continue using the Software, or (2) replace the same with non-infringing software, or
(3) modify the Software so that it becomes non-infringing provided such modified
intellectual property will reasonably meet Licensee's needs.
viii 6-00360-04 Rev A
SNMS
b. Upon failure of (1), (2) or (3) above, despite the reasonable efforts of ADIC, Licensee
may terminate this License only with respect to the Software adversely affected by
such action or claim. Upon such termination ADIC will promptly refund to Licensee
any License Fees paid and other payments made for the adversely affected Software.
ADIC may deduct from the refund a fair market value for usage, which will be a
pro rata share of the License charge for the time period used, assuming a three (3)
year straight line depreciation with no salvage value.
c. Notwithstanding the foregoing ADIC has no liability if any such claim or suit is based
upon or arises out of: 1) alterations of the Software by Licensee or any third party; 2)
Licensee's failure to install updated Software provided by ADIC for avoiding such
infringement; 3) use of the Software in combination with apparatus or software not
furnished by ADIC; 4) use of the Software in a manner for which it was neither
designed nor contemplated; 5) third party software embedded in the Software; 6)
Software modified by ADIC for Licensee in accordance with Licensee's
specifications or requests; or 7) a patent, trademark or copyright in which Licensee or
any of its affiliates or subsidiaries has a direct or indirect interest by license or
otherwise.

after termination of this License, Licensee will certify, in writing, to ADIC, that
Licensee has discontinued the use of all Software; and either destroyed or, at ADIC’s
election, returned to ADIC the original and all copies of the Software and
Documentation in any form maintained by Licensee.
c. Termination for Cause. A violation of any provision of Paragraph 3. above will be
deemed a material breach and the basis for immediate termination of this License.

Introduction
StorNext Management Suite (SNMS) is a scalable, high performance, data management solution
that ensures the long-term safety and recoverability of data in SAN environments, while optimizing
the use of storage resources. The result is high speed data sharing, improved productivity, and
reduced network bottlenecks.
SNMS contains the StorNext Storage Manager (StorNext SM) and the StorNext File System
(StorNext FS).
other types of connections) in a serverless environment that enables heterogeneous clients to
access data and share files. 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 SNMS Software section in this document.
Step 1 Add the following user accounts tdlm and www.
Username UserID GroupID Login Shell Home Directory
Installing Client Software
tdlm 100 100 /bin/ksh /usr/adic
www 101 100 /bin/ksh /usr/adic/www
Step 2 Add the group account adic.
Group Name GroupID Members List

Step 6 To modify the default parameters, type the parameter number.
If you do not need to modify the parameters, skip this step and go to Step 8.
NOTE
If you do not use LTO2 media in your library, you need to change parameter
numbers 6 and 7 to match the media type that is located in your library. For mixed
media or multiple libraries, you need to change the parameter numbers to match
the media type that you use as your primary backup.
For increased reliability, install the database backup directory (database_bkp)
and the database journal directory (database_jnl) on a disk that is different
from the one on which the database installation directory is stored.
Step 7 When you are satisfied with the parameter settings of the installation configuration, press
Enter or type 12 to return to the Install Main Menu (see
Figure 2-1).
Step 8 Type 2 to install the SNMS software.
