Installation guide

Requirements
1-6 GAM Client v3.00 and WSAM User’s Manual
Requirements
GAM
Since Global Array Manager is a client/server application, the GAM Server
software component provided in the Mylex Disk Array Controller Software
Kit must be installed in one or more file servers in order for the GAM Client
software component to operate. Hardware and software requirements for
installation and operation of the GAM Server component are described for
each supported network operating system in the Mylex Disk Array
Controller Software Kit Installation Guide and User Manual.
WSAM
If remote server access is not required, Workstation Array Manager can be
installed instead of GAM Client on a Windows 2000 or Windows NT
workstation. WSAM requires only that Windows 2000 or NT be running; it
does not require installation of GAM Server or GAM Client on any system.
