Network Requirements
If you plan to install PAM on a network be sure all the hosts and servers are
connected and running. That is, each of the PCs, RAIDs and Servers must have
a working network connection before you install PAM.
In order for PAM to be configured over a network, you must know the IP
(network) address of the RAID PC(s) in your system. The Message Server uses
IP addresses to communicate with the Message Agent on the RAID PCs and the
Monitoring Utility on the network PCs.
See Appendix C: Networking Issues for help in finding the IP Address of the
RAID PC.
Installation Procedure
Before you start…
If you are installing PAM to run over a network, determine the computers and
servers onto which you will install PAM. Obtain the IP addresses of all RAID PCs
where PAM will be installed.
PAM Installation
With that information ready, follow these steps to install PAM on each computer
or server:
1. Boot the PC/server and launch Windows.
2. If the computer is already running, exit all programs.
3. Insert FastTrak CD into your CD-ROM drive.
4. Open the CD and locate the PAM folder.
5. Inside the PAM folder, look for the PAM Installer icon (right).
6. Double-click the icon to run the installer. The opening screen
