Two types of computers are associated with the storage array.

• Hosts send I/O to the storage array.

• Management stations manage the storage array. The type of operating system that the management station runs is the

directory that you need to locate on the DVD. At this time, check the BIOS and device driver versions for your current

Fibre Channel HBA, SAS HBA, or iSCSI Network Interface Card (NIC). If necessary, update them before proceeding. For HBAs, obtain the BIOS and device drivers directly from the vendor.

For Microsoft Windows installations,

• Install the StorPort device driver.

• Install the MPIO multi-path driver on the host. On the SANtricity ES Storage Manager Installation DVD, locate the

appropriate operating system (OS) directory.

• Review the appropriate operating system and device driver readme ﬁ les included on the SANtricity ES Storage Manager Installation DVD for additional information.

Launch the SMIA executable ﬁ le. Follow the instructions in the wizard, and select one of these installation methods:

• For the Management Station designated as a monitor (for monitoring and sending alert notiﬁ cations), select Management

Station (full installation), and, when prompted, click Automatically Start Monitor.

• For the Management Station that you will use to manage the storage array, select Management Station, and, when prompted, select Do Not Automatically Start the Monitor.

• For all I/O hosts attached to the storage array, select Host and

Do Not Automatically Start the Monitor.

Both management methods are speciﬁ c to the installation steps in Section 9. This section and those that follow concern conﬁ guration of the entire storage array.

• In-band management – Managing a storage array by using a storage management station to send commands through the host input/output (I/O) connection to the controller.

• Out-of-band management – Managing a storage array by using a storage management station to send commands through the Ethernet connections on each controller.
