Compaq StorageWorks HSG60 ACS Solution Software V8.6 for Linux X86 and Alpha Installation and Configuration Guide

Preparing the Host System 3–3
Verifying/Installing Required Versions
To prepare for your RAIDManager software installation, complete the following steps:
1. Back up your entire system according to your normal procedure.
2. Select a system user with superuser privileges (for example: root) as the RAID
administrator.
3. Log in as the RAID administrator.
4. To find a file system with at least 500 KB free space, type:
# df -k
5. Choose a directory in which to install the SWCC software. The default is/usr/local;
however you may specify any directory. You will need to know this when running the
installation script.
NOTE: The “base directory” (referred to when installing Agent) will have a “steam”
subdirectory created under it. This is the directory where the Agent files will be installed.
You will need approximately 500 KB of permanent space on your hard disk to install and
use Agent. If you enable logging, some additional disk space will be used by the logfiles in
the /var/log/steam directory.
