systems and graphical installation on Windows systems.
2.5.1 Before Installation
Prior to installing the InForm CLI:
■ shut down all active InForm CLI sessions.
■ disable any virus-checking software.
■ verify that all system requirements have been met. See 2.3 System Requirements on

Installing InForm CLI can be completed with the InstallAnywhere™ application.
The installation should start automatically once you put the 3PAR InForm CLI and SNMP CD

you install or remove one or more versions of the InForm CLI simultaneously, the
procedure may fail.
