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 bootable USB media (see Creating Bootable USB Media) for the installation.

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