Introduction Welcome to Storage Mirroring Enterprise Install Console. Enterprise Install Console allows you to manage your Storage Mirroring installations, upgrades, and uninstallations from a central location. In this document, you will find the following information.
Understanding the Install Console display The Install Console is a two pane view. The view in the right-pane changes depending on what is highlighted in the left pane. When the root of the Servers tree is selected, summary Storage Mirroring installation status of any servers in the Install Console is displayed in the right pane. The summary status is divided by versions of Storage Mirroring installed.
Adding servers manually In order to manage your Storage Mirroring installations from the Install Console, you have to insert the servers that you want to manage into the Install Console. Select Server, New Server or right-click on the left pane and select Server, New. NOTE: If you are going to be adding a large number of servers manually, you can reduce manual data entry by setting server defaults. Select File, Edit Default Server and specify any fields that will be identical on your different servers.
! Directory containing setup.exe—Specify the location, on the Enterprise Install Console machine, where the Storage Mirroring installation files are located. You must have write access to this location so that the Enterprise Install Console can write temporary files. Therefore, if you are using a CD, copy the files from the CD to the Enterprise Install Console machine.
Adding servers by cloning Once you have a server in the Install Console, you can clone that server in order to add additional servers. This saves time because all of the fields on the Add Server dialog box are completed identically to the server you are cloning. You only have to modify the fields required to make the server unique. See Adding servers manually on page 3 for an explanation of each server setting.
Installing, upgrading, or uninstalling Storage Mirroring You can install, upgrade, or uninstall Storage Mirroring on a single server, multiple servers, or all servers in the Install Console. ! Single server—If you are installing or upgrading, highlight one server in the Servers tree and select Action, Install or Upgrade or right-click and select Action, Install or Upgrade.
