Keep in mind the following:
• All steps must be completed for the management server to work properly.
• Before beginning any installation or upgrade steps, refer to the Support Matrix to determine the
minimum software and hardware requirements.
• For optimal performance, install the management server on a dedicated computer.
• Installation through a terminal server or using Virtual Network Computing (VNC) software is not
