Install PowerFlex Gateway on Windows

Install the PowerFlex Gateway on a Windows-based server. The PowerFlex Gateway includes the PowerFlex Installer.

Prerequisites

Before deploying any PowerFlex components on a server that was part of another PowerFlex system, use the operating system tools to remove all of those PowerFlex components.

Ensure that the version of the PowerFlex Gateway that you are about to install is the same software version as the other PowerFlex system components that you intend to install.

If LDAP authentication will be used for LIA, the server on which the PowerFlex Gateway will be installed must be prepared before PowerFlex Gateway installation. For more information, refer to Dell PowerFlex User Roles and LDAP Usage Technical Notes.

About this task

  • Do not install PowerFlex Gateway on a server that will be used for a PowerFlex SDC component.
  • A Windows-based PowerFlex Installer can be used to deploy PowerFlex on both Windows and Linux-based servers.
NOTE: When deploying the PowerFlex Gateway, if one of the following ports is not free, the deployment will fail: 80, 8080, 443, 8443. If this occurs, free the above-mentioned ports and then repeat the deployment procedure.

Steps

  1. From the extracted download file, copy the PowerFlex Gateway MSI file to the server where it will be installed:
    EMC-ScaleIO-gateway-3.6-X.<build>-x64.msi
  2. Run the file, and enter a new PowerFlex Gateway admin password that will be used to access the PowerFlex Installer.
    The password must meet the following criteria:
    • At least 8 characters long
    • Include at least 3 of the following groups: [a-z], [A-Z], [0-9], special chars (!@#$ …)
  3. From the extracted download file, run the Clean_XC_registry.bat script on every Windows machine to be part of the system.
    The script is included in the Complete Windows download package.
  4. Proceed with the remaining preparation tasks, as relevant for your system and installation method. For installation on Ubuntu, Oracle Linux, or SLES servers, pay special attention to the preparation tasks for these operating systems.
    NOTE: The PowerFlex Gateway and the PowerFlex Installer can now be configured or disabled, as explained in "Configure PowerFlex Gateway properties".
