Installing Software for VMware
VMware ESX Server 3.5 does not have a GUI in its default configuration and therefore you cannot access 3DM 2 locally. You must use another system that has a GUI and a web browser to access 3DM 2.
CLI can run locally on the VMware server in a console window.
After initial installation and setup, RAID administration will typically be done remotely through CLI or 3DM 2.
To install CLI and 3DM 2
1
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
2
cd /mnt/cdrom/VMupdates/RPMS/
3
rpm -ivh <AMCC-CommandLine-Management-Utility-xxx.rpm>
rpm -ivh <AMCC-3dm2-Management-Utility-xxx.rpm>
4
Note the URL supplied by 3DM 2 at the end of installation, (for example, https://10.0.0.2:888), as it will be required in order to connect to 3DM 2 through a web browser.
