Loading the StorageWorks Software onto
the Hard Disk
The StorageWorks (SWCC) software consists of the RAID Array software installation
scripts, the support files, the Client, and the Agent. Installation and operation of the
software requires temporary and permanent space on your hard disk. You need
approximately 4 M-bytes of permanent space on your hard disk to use the StorageWorks
software and an additional 2 Mbytes of temporary space on your hard disk for installation.
Loading the StorageWorks software on an SGI-Irix system requires the following major
steps:
1. Mounting the CD-ROM which contains the software.
2. Extracting the files from the file archive to a temporary storage area.
3. Executing the installation and configuration script.
Copying the File Archive from CD-ROM to Temporary
Storage

CD-ROM to a temporary directory, before running the installation script.
1. Insert the StorageWorks software distribution CD-ROM into the drive.
2. Log in as root (superuser).
3. Change the directory to a temporary storage area (/tmp). For example:
# cd /tmp
4. Create a directory into which the file archive can be loaded.
# mkdir HSG60
