• Choose a location on your management station to install P9000 Performance Advisor.
By default, the Install to: displays the location as <Windows_Volume>:\HPSS\. Select another

• Check the available free space on all the disk volumes in your management station.
Click Check Space to view the free space available on all the disk volumes in your management
station. The Disk Space Requirements window appears providing the list of disk volumes in your
management station and the available free space on each of them. The disk volumes that do not
have the required free space to accommodate the program features you select are also highlighted
for your reference.
• View the description for each program feature that you want to install.
Clicking a program feature displays a brief description and the amount of disk space required to
