Deploy Dell PowerFlex v3.6.x
Install the PowerFlex presentation server
Install the PowerFlex presentation server.
Prerequisites
- Ensure that the workstation complies with the PowerFlex system requirements.
- Ensure that you have the PowerFlex presentation server installation file. It is included in the PowerFlex complete software package that you downloaded from https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/scaleio/drivers.
NOTE: It is not recommended to install the
PowerFlex presentation server on the same host as the
PowerFlex Gateway. If you must install them on the same host, the
PowerFlex Gateway must be installed before the
PowerFlex presentation server. The
PowerFlex presentation server listens on port 8443, and the
PowerFlex Gateway checks that port 8443 is available, although it does not use this port.
Steps
-
Install the
PowerFlex presentation server on a server:
- Linux:
rpm -i EMC-ScaleIO-mgmt-server-3.6-X.<build>.noarch.rpm - Debian (run with administrator privileges):
sudo dpkg -i emc-scaleio-mgmt-server_3.6-X.<build>_amd64.deb
- Linux:
- Prior to using the PowerFlex GUI, link the PowerFlex presentation server to the PowerFlex system, and configure users. For more information, refer to the Configure and Customize Dell PowerFlex.
