MDR User Guide 19
To operate the MDR via the remote shell application (mdrshell on Solaris and
mdrshell.exe on Windows), an external network (typically Ethernet) is required. On
MDR-250 units, the interface may be provided by an Ethernet module purchased as one
of the PMC options installed on the MDR unit itself.
With MDR-220 units, the interface to the external network must be provided by an
additional SBC using Wind River Systems' Shared-Memory Network (for instance, an
SBC running VxWorks 5.4), configured as the SM Network master. A MIDAS-120 with
Ethernet PMC may be used in this capacity.
4.2 Host MDR Shell and API Installation
To install the Host MDR Shell program, insert the CD-ROM containing the software
into the CD-ROM drive. If the software installation program does not start up
automatically, run the Setup.exe program file. Follow the on-screen instructions to
install the MDR software. For further details on installing VMETRO software, see the
VMETRO Products Installation Guide shipped together with the CD-ROM.
All necessary files will be copied to a specified directory. Inside this directory, the
structure is as follows:
documents/ contains the MDR documentation and example
programs
mdr-server/bin/ contains the MDR Server binary file for all the
supported platforms.
mdr-server/etc/ contains the configuration files for MDR Server
mdr.ini, mmon.ini, vxbsp.ini, vxbsp-min.txt,
vxbsp-netif.txt
and vxbsp-nonet.txt.
mdr-host-sw/bin/ contains the MDR executable files for all the platforms
specified above.
mdr-host-sw/doc/ contains the example programs
mdr-host-sw/etc/ contains the configuration file for MDR Host Software
mdr.ini
mdr-host-sw/include/ contains the header files
mdr-host-sw/lib/ contains the MDR API libraries for all platforms
described above.
mdr-host-sw/fibre-channel-drivers/
contains the VMFC-2X00(P) QLogic drivers for
Windows NT/2000 and Solaris 2.6/7/8.
For those users who have purchased a VMFC-2X00 Fibre Channel PMC (or a PCI card)
to be used for accessing the MDR FC disk subsystem directly from the host (Windows
and/or Solaris), please refer to Appendix B: Installing the Fibre Channel driver for
Windows or Solaris.
