6. Choose the installation location. You can change the installation location of the management
server and the Oracle database if you prefer.

spaces. Drive letters must be fixed drives.
Choose the installation directory where you want to install the Oracle database for the Storage
Essentials management server. Choose a drive with enough dedicated disk space for the
Oracle database and its backup files. The disk space requirements are dependent on the size
of the SAN you are managing.

specified in the support matrix and the Verify System Requirements screen is displayed showing
the current status of the system.
If the system does not meet the disk space requirements for the Oracle database used to store
the Storage Essentials management server data, the installation stops and prompts you to
allocate the required disk space.

system and click Next. Once you click Next, the Summary screen is displayed.
