Dell Unisphere for PowerMax 10.1.0.0 Installation Guide

Step 2, option 1: Installing Unisphere for PowerMax using the wizard

1. Save all files and exit all applications.
2. Change the directory to the location of the kit and run the appropriate executable file for your operating system.
   To install Unisphere for PowerMax using the wizard in Linux, enable the display manager and use the -i swing switch, for example:

   ./UNIVMAX_aa.bb.cc.dd_RELEASE_LINUX_X86_64.bin -i swing

   If the display manager is not enabled or the -i swing switch is not used, the installer defaults to console mode.

   If you are using the nonroot user feature on a Linux installation, the Unisphere installer picks up the username running the SE daemons and assigns that to the Unisphere Java process.

3. On the Introduction page, review the recommendations and click Next.
4. On the License Agreement page, read the license agreement. To accept the terms of the license agreement and continue the installation, select the I accept the terms of the License Agreement check box at the end of the page. Click Next.
   NOTE:You cannot continue the installation without accepting the terms of the license agreement.
5. On the Choose Install Folder page, click Next to accept the default directory, or click Choose to select another directory.
   NOTE:On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0 and above, installing on a nonroot partition is not supported.
6. On the Symapi Configuration page:
   1. Specify a Unisphere Initial Setup User name (default is smc). If you have enabled authorization on the Unisphere server host, you can either accept the default or use your Windows username. For more information about the role of the Unisphere Initial Setup User, see Unisphere Initial Setup User.
   2. Specify a SymAPI Connection Type for the initial login based on the following:
      • Local—On a host that has Solutions Enabler installed and is attached to PowerMax systems.
      • Remote—On a remote server that is connected to a SYMAPI server, specify the SYMAPI server Node Name and Net Port. The default net port for SYMAPI is 2707.

      For more information about each of the connection types, see Local, remote, and embedded installation options.

   3. Click Next.
7. On the Ports Configuration page, specify the ports to use or enable when connecting to the Unisphere server.
   The default ports of the Unisphere server (HTTPS Port No) and performance database (DB Port No) are shown. To use the default ports, verify that they are available, and click Next to accept and enable them. Or you can specify and enable different ports, and click Next.
8. Optional: On the X.509 Certificate-based Client Authentication page, configure certificate-based user authentication options. The default behavior is for X.509 certificate-based authentication to remain disabled.
   To enable X.509 certificate-based authentication, complete the following steps:

      2. Click Next.
      3. Click Choose File.
