4. For each adapter on the host server, download the following:
SuperInstaller (Windows only):

SuperInstaller.

requirements.
c. Ensure that the SuperInstaller description supports each adapter
in the host server or servers.
RPM package (Linux only)
Read Me
Release Notes
5. Install the agents by running the Linux RPM Package. Refer to the Read Me
and Release Notes for detailed information about running the SuperInstaller.
Agent Installation on Ubuntu
To install agents (QLRemote and QLNXRemote only) on Ubuntu:
1. To install alien, issue the following command:
apt-get install alien
2. To install rpcbind, issue the following command:
apt-get install rpcbind
3. Issue the alien command as follows:
alien -i -scripts -k ./<installer name.rpm>
NOTE
Although QLogic Control Suite CLI does not run on a Windows Nano
Server shell, you can install the QLNXRemote agent on a Nano Server
system and manage it remotely through QCS CLI using the
addhost
(Add Host) and removehost (Remove Host) commands. For QCS
CLI to connect to the remote QLNXRemote Nano agent, you must
disable the firewall on the Nano system. For instructions on installing
the QLNXRemote agent on a Nano Server, refer to the
QConvergeConsole Windows Agent Installers Readme. (This Readme
is located inside the QCS CLI for Windows download available on
www.marvell.com
