IMPORTANT All configuration and session information files in an Application
Recovery Manager cell are stored on the Cell Manager. It is difficult to
transfer this information to another system. Therefore, ensure that the
Cell Manager is a reliable system in a stable, controlled environment.
Installing a Cell Manager
Prerequisites To install a Cell Manager, you must have Administrator rights. The
Windows system that will become your Cell Manager must meet the
following requirements:
✓ Have a supported Windows operating system installed. See the
http://www.hp.com/support/manuals
for details on supported
operating systems for the Cell Manager.
✓ Have Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher.
✓ Have sufficient disk space for the Application Recovery Manager Cell
Manager software. Refer to the HP StorageWorks Application
Recovery Manager Release Notes for details.
✓ Have the port number 5555 (default) free. If this is not the case, refer
to “Changing the Default Port Number” on page B-28.
✓ Have a static IP address for the system on which the Cell Manager
will be installed. If the system is configured as a DHCP client, its IP
address changes; therefore, it is required to either assign a
permanent DNS entry for the system (and reconfigure it), or to
configure a DHCP server to reserve a static IP address for the system
(IP address is bound to the system's MAC address).
✓ Have the Microsoft implementation of the TCP/IP protocol installed
and running. The protocol must be able to resolve hostnames. The
computer name and the hostname must be the same. Refer to
“Setting Up the TCP/IP Protocol on Windows Systems” on page B-20
for information on installation and configuration of the TCP/IP
protocol.
✓ Have access to a CD-ROM drive.
