Installing and re

moving the Navisphere Storage System Initialization

Utility

EMC recommends that you install the utility on the server; however,

you can run the Navisphere Storage System Initialization Utility from

the server support CD.

Installation prerequisites

TousetheStorageSystemInitializationUtilityonaSolarisserver

to initialize a storage system, the server must meet the following

requirements:

 Run a supported version of the operating system.

 Be connected to the same subnet as the 10/100 management ports of

the storage system that you want to initialize. This server may also

be a server with Fibre Channel connections to the storage system.

If you have a previous revision installed, you must uninstall it before

installing an updated version.

Installing the Navisphere Storage System Initialization Utility on a Solaris server

EMC recommends that you install the most recent version of the

Navisphere Storage System Initialization Utility software that is

appropriate for your configuration. You can download the most recent

version from either the software download page on the Powerlink

website (CX3–series and CX-series) or on the support website

(AX-series storage systems). You can also install the software from the

server support CD (any storage system); however, the CD may not

contain the most recent version for your configuration.

1. Log in as superuser (root) on a Solaris server that is on the same

subnet as the storage system.

2. If any previous revision of the initialization utility is installed on

the server, remove it before continuing.

Note: To verify if the initialization utility is installed, enter the pkginfo

|grep HOST command.
