Installing StorNext FS on UNIX
You can install the StorNext File System (StorNext FS) software on a UNIX machine that uses an
SGI IRIX, Sun Solaris, Linux, (Red Hat, SuSE) or IBM AIX operating system. Once you have
successfully installed the StorNext FS software on your server, use the Initial Configuration Wizard
(ICW) to configure the software. You are then ready to use the StorNext FS software.
You can also run the StorNext FS software on a client machine by downloading the client files from
the server and then installing them on your client.
Before installing StorNext FS on any machine, refer to the StorNext Management Suite
Release Notes to verify that you have complied with all the necessary requirements for running the
software on your specific operating system.
To learn more about advanced configurations and features like failover, refer to the
StorNext Management Suite System Administrator Guide.
