Installing MegaRAID Storage Manager Software on RHEL or SLES/SuSE Linux

To install MegaRAID Storage Manager software on a system running Red Hat Linux 3.0/4.0/5.0 or SuSE Linux/SuSE 9, 10, and 11, follow these steps:

Copy the MegaRaidStorageManager-SOLX86-...tar.gz file to a temporary folder.
Extract the MegaRaidStorageManager-SOLX86-...tar.gz file using the following command:
tar -zxvf MegaRaidStorageManager-SOLX86-...tar.gz
This action creates a new disk directory.
Go to the new disk directory.
In the disk directory, find and read the readme.txt file.
To start the installation, enter the following command:
csh install.sh -a

If you select Client installation for a PC used to monitor servers, and if there are no available servers with a registered framework on the local subnet (that is, servers with a complete installation of the MegaRAID Storage Manager software), the server screen appears. The server screen does not list any servers. You can use this screen to manage systems remotely.

To install the software using interactive mode, execute the command ./install.sh from the installation disk.

To install the product in a non-interactive or silent mode, use the command ./install.sh [-options] [ -ru popup] from the installation disk. The installation options are:

Complete installation
Client Component Only
StandAlone

The -ru popup command removed pop-up from installation list.

You also can run non-interactive installation using the RunRPM.sh command.

The installer offers three types of setup options:

Complete – This option installs all the features of the product.
Client Components Only – The resident system can only administer and configure all of the servers in the subnet, but it cannot serve as a server.
StandAlone – Only the networking features are not installed in this case. However, the system can discover other servers in the subnet and the other servers in the subnet can discover the system.

This installation helps you select any of the setup types, but if you run RunRPM.sh, it installs the complete feature.
