Installing
Command View SDM
This chapter includes procedures for installing Command View SDM on each
supported operating system. The installation process differs for each operating
system. Once the software is installed, operation of Command View SDM is
identical on all platforms.
The Command View SDM software can be installed on a host connected
directly to the array. Command View SDM can also be installed on a client for
remote management. Remote clients must be assigned permission to manage
the array by a Command View SDM host connected to the array.
If you would like some general information on the software installation process
before you begin, see "Details About the Command View SDM Installation
Process" on page 59.
Upgrading to a Newer Version of Command View SDM
When upgrading to a newer version of Command View SDM, always uninstall
the previous version before installing the new software. This will ensure that the
software installation will complete successfully and that Command View SDM
will operate correctly.
You should also save the Command View SDM configuration files. This will
allow you to easily restore the same configuration on the new software. See
"Saving and Restoring Array Configuration Information" on page 48.
