Site and System Preparation

Before you install everRun software, make sure that your site and system meet the following requirements:

• The system meets all of the requirements described in System Requirements Overview.
• The storage configuration meets all of the requirements described in Storage Requirements.

• Provide keyboard and console access to each physical machine. This access can be in the form of a physical keyboard and monitor, a keyboard-video-mouse switch, or a properly-configured remote-management card capable of providing remote console and keyboard access. Connect the keyboard/console access as described in the vendor's documentation (for example, through direct VGA or USB connections).

  Note: You cannot install everRun software from a serial console.
• Provide a remote management computer for the everRun Availability Console, and make sure it meets all of the requirements described in everRun Availability Console Requirements.
• Determine the best configuration for your network. See General Network Requirements and Configurations.

• Use either an internal DVD drive or a USB DVD drive for the installation.

After confirming that your site and system meet the preceding requirements, return to Software Installation.
