Installing InForm Administration Tools can be completed via InstallAnywhere. For the 2.2
release, the InForm Administration Tools are distributed to customers on the InForm OS
Administration Tools CD. All platforms use this same CD, but the installation differs for each of
the supported platforms.
To successfully install the tools on Unix platforms, you must install from your Desktop Windows
Manager or be running an X server with your DISPLAY variable set correctly.
2.3.2.1 On Windows
On Windows platforms, installation should start automatically once you put the InForm OS
Administration Tools CD into your CD ROM drive.
If the installation does not start automatically, use the following procedure:
1 Insert the InForm OS Administration Tools CD into your drive.
2 Open the file <D>
:\windows\setup.exe
where <D> is the letter associated with your drive.
3 Complete the installation by following the on-screen directions.
The default installation location is
C:\Program Files\3PAR\inform_mgmt_console.
CAUTION: Do not run multiple installations of the InForm OS Administration
Tools at the same time. If you install or remove one or more versions of the
InForm OS Administration Tools simultaneously, the procedure may fail.
NOTE: Shut down all running applications and disable virus-checking software
before proceeding with the following instructions.
