Storage Resource Manager Enterprise Edition Installation Guide

Storage Resource Manager Enterprise Edition 2–1

Installation Preparation

This chapter includes procedures that will simplify installation of Storage Resource

Manager (SRM) Enterprise Edition. The procedures describe how to:

• Verify SRM Prerequisites

• Verify that DCOM is Enabled

• Prepare SQL Server for SRM

• Create the SRM Service Login Account

• Create the SRMAdmin Group

• Create the SRMUser Group

All procedures in this chapter are optional; however, it is recommended that you

perform at least the prerequisite check on each computer where SRM will be installed.

It will save you time during the installation process.

Verify SRM Prerequisites

The most common installation problem is improperly or incompletely installed

prerequisites. To ensure that you are ready to install SRM, run the SRM Prerequisite

Check program from the SRM Installation CD. The Setup program checks the local

computer for the prerequisites needed for the components you specify. This feature is

only available for the local computer. The prerequisites needed for each SRM

component are listed in Chapter 2, “Installation Prerequisites.”

To run the prerequisite check program:

1. Insert the SRM Installation CD in the CD-ROM drive. If Auto Start is enabled, the

SRM Installation Menu launches automatically.

2. If Auto Start is not enabled, run I386\AUTORUN.EXE from the CD.

3. Click Check Prerequisites on the SRM Installation Menu.
