2.4.3 Installing RAIDWatch Manager & Event MonitorIf a web server is not available to run RAIDWatch, or for some other reason browser access to the program is not preferred, RAIDWatch Manager or Event Monitor can be installed on workstations on the LAN where the RAID server with the Primary Agent installed resides.
Follow these steps to install RAIDWatch Manager and Event Monitor on a workstation:
1. Insert the Infortrend RAIDWatch installation CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2. If installing on a Unix system, mount the RAIDWatch CD to /mnt.
3. If you are currently running other applications, close them before proceeding with the setup process. This will minimize the possibility of encountering system errors during setup.
If you are installing remotely, skip step 4.
4. For local installs, run the install script file related to the OS you are using to start the installation process. (Each OS has its own subdirectory.) This method will open a command line window and ask first if you want to install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and second if you want to install RAIDWatch (including Event Monitor). In both cases, type "Y" for a first install, reinstall, or reconfigure of the program.
If you have just completed step 4, skip step 5.
5. For remote installation, open …\common\install.htm through a web browser. (For example, use your web browser to open "/mnt/common/install.htm" from a Unix system or the directory "d:\common\install.htm" under Windows NT.) The installation procedure will auto-select the software modules that match your OS.
(The browser method for starting the installation process explained in step 5 can also be used locally if you prefer.)
6. For both local and browser starts, accessing the install file should open the first stage of the installation process. There are three options here for installing or configuring your package. Please select Install Packages Only, and click the OK button to continue.
IMPORTANT NOTE:Agent and NPC configuration parameters can be reconfigured later using the installation program. Run the installation program and select Configure Only from the Start menu to reconfigure Agent and NPC settings.

11. Before the installation procedure finishes, it will ask if you want to add shortcuts to your computer. Choosing to add them will put a shortcut icon on your desktop for starting RAIDWatch Manager and Event Monitor. (For Windows users only.) Click the ExitSetup button on the final screen to finish.
The installation procedure is now complete. You may start managing your RAID disk array systems. For information on first time operating instructions, see Chapter 3, Basic Operations.
