Windows systems installation

If the above conditions are not satisfied, an attempt to install the Device Manager server might

fail or the Device Manager server might not work properly.

Also, do not change the setting for automatically generating short names even after the

installation has completed.

To check whether the user was created while the setting for automatically generating short file

and folder names was disabled, execute the following command:

dir /x /a- "Windows-system-drive:\Documents and Settings\Windows-account-

name" | find "Local Settings"

One of the following examples shows the command execution results when the setting for

automatically generating short file and folder names was enabled, and the other shows the

results when the setting was disabled. If LOCALS~1 is displayed, the user was created while

this setting was enabled.

If the user was created while the setting was enabled:

2008/01/01 18:26 <DIR> LOCALS~1 Local

Settings

If the user was created while the setting was disabled:

2008/01/01 18:26 <DIR> Local

• When you specify virtual memory settings, allocate at least 1,536 MB as the paging file size.

To set the paging file size, right-click My Computer and, in the displayed menu, choose

Properties. Then, in the displayed dialog box, open the Advanced page and click

Performance Options. The allocated paging file size must be at least 1,536 MB even after

Device Manager server operation starts.

• When you install the Device Manager server, specify the host name or IP address of the server

machine. When you specify the host name, make sure that the host name satisfies the

following conditions:

○ Number of characters: 32 bytes or less

○ Available characters: A-Z a-z 0-9 -

You cannot use a hyphen (-) at the beginning or end of the host name.

When you install the Device Manager server in a cluster environment, specify a logical host

name that satisfies the above conditions.

• If multiple NICs are installed on the machine, during installation you will need to specify the IP

address that corresponds to one of those NICs. If multiple NICs are connected to different

networks, use the IP address of the NIC that belongs to the network to which web client is

connected.

The IP address specified during installation is also used when you specify the setting of

server.http.host property after installation is complete. For details about how to set this

property, see subsection

8-2-1 .

• Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 is required to install Device Manager. If this installer does not

exist or the installer version is old, it will be automatically installed before installation of Device

Manager starts. If this is the case, you need to restart the system after Microsoft Windows

Installer 3.1 is installed. You can use the following procedure to check the version of Microsoft

Windows Installer.

a. Find msi.dll. It is usually stored in Windows-system-folder\system32.

b. Right-click msi.dll, and then choose Properties.

c. Choose the Version tab, and then check the version.
