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/adm/steam directory.
Deciding between Automatic and Manual Installation
Modes
The installation script can be run in either automatic or manual mode. During the
installation process, the Installation Manager will examine the following packages and
drivers which are installed on your system for compatibility with the current release of the
RAID Manager software.
■ Solaris operating system version
■ Existence of required patches (and patch versions) on your system
■ Prior versions of Solution Software packages (DECswm410, DECswm450,
CPQhsz70, CPQHSG60)
■ Prior versions of driver packages (DECptisp, CPQfca, CPQfcaw, CPQfcaPCI)
■ Incompatible versions of driver packages (PTIptisp, JNIfca, JNIfcaw, JNIfcaPCI)
The installation script will also identify and back up any old Agent configuration files for
later upgrading.
The key differences between Automatic and Manual modes is how they fix any problems
found.
Automatic mode, as the name suggests, operates entirely automatically. All old or
incompatible packages are removed, and the correct new packages are loaded, depending
on the FC adapters installed in your system. Therefore, it is important that any FC adapters
you want to use are installed prior to running the Installation Manager. You will be
prompted for verification prior to any change being made to your system.
Manual mode operates manually. The Installation Manager will identify what steps to
take, but the user is responsible for actually entering the correct commands. The
Installation manager will also identify incompatibilities between installed packages and
the new packages, and it will recommend the corrective steps. The user is responsible for
manually removing old packages and installing the new packages. Be aware that it may
take several iterations of running the Installation Manager to resolve all problems.
