Installing in the Interactive Mode

You must log in to the system with root privileges. You can also open the command prompt as root and run the installer through the command line.

Perform the following steps to install the LSI Storage Authority software in the interactive mode.

  1. Run the./install.csh command from the installation disk.
  2. Read the license agreements for the software package. If you agree to the terms of the license agreements, press Y. Otherwise, press N to exit the installation.
  3. The Configure Range of Events to Generate Alert Notifications dialog appears. You can configure alert notifications to get early notification of application or service issues/problem occurrences.

    The following configuration options are available:

    • Since Last Shutdown: Select this option to retrieve events from the last clean shutdown.
    • Since Log Clear: Select this option to retrieve events from the last log that was cleared.
    • Since Last Reboot: Select this option to retrieve events from the last time the system was restarted.
    • Start From Now: Select this option to retrieve events from now.

    You can also change these configuration options as per your requirement at any point in time by editing the lsa.conf file in the LSI Storage Authority/conf directory and choosing the required parameter. For example, if you have selected Since Last Shutdown as a configuration option to retrieve events during the time of installation and you want to change it to Since Last Reboot, through the lsa.conf file, go to # Retrieve range of events used to generate alert notification, if LSA not found LastProcessedSeqNum section in the lsa.conf file, change the retrieve_range_of_events_since = to 2 (retrieve_range_of_events_since = 2). You must restart the LSI Storage Authority service for the configuration changes to take effect.

  4. Enter the nginx server port number. The port range is from1 to 65535. The default port number is 2463.
  5. Enter the LSI Storage Authority application port numbers. The port range is from 1 to 65535. The default port number is 9000.

    Ensure that the nginx_port number and the LSA_port number are in the between the range, 1 to 65535 and are different. If the nginx_port number and the LSA_port number are not specified in the command line, the default values are used.

    By default, LSA communicates on Web Server Port 2463 and LSA Server Port 9000. Ensure that these ports are available to be used by LSA. Depending on your environment, if these ports are not available, specify the port details here. You can also edit this port details after installation.

  6. Ensure that port 2463 is not blocked by a firewall.
  7. Extract the contents of the zip file and install the 64-bit Linux operating systems. The LSA_Linux.zip file contains files for 64-bit platforms.
    Note: LSAMRSA only supports 64-bit operating systems.
    Note: Ensure that Connect automatically check box is selected, which is available under Network Connections.
  8. To launch theLSI Storage Authority , navigate to your browser and enter your IP Address followed by:2463. For example, http://135.24.237.36:2463.
