Step 4: Select installation options

About this task

To select your installation options:

Steps

  1. At the following prompt, specify whether to install Solution Enabler SSL certificate files:
    Install Dell Solutions Enabler Certificates for secure Client/Server operation? [Y]:
    • A [Y]es response installs ssl.rnd and symapisrv_install.cnf in \Program Files\EMC\SYMAPI\config\cert and generates symapisrv_cert_v8.1.pem, symapisrv_cert_v9.0.pem, symapisrv_key_v8.1.pem, symapisrv_trust_v8.1.pem, symapisrv_key_v9.0.pem symapisrv_trust_v9.0.pem.
    • A [N]o response does not install CERT component.
    NOTE:

    If you do not install SSL certificate files at this time but intent to use secure client/server communication with Solutions Enabler, you must install your own certificate files after the installation is completed. For detailed information on how to do that, please refer to the Dell PowerMax Family Security Configuration Guide

  2. At the following prompt, specify whether to install all of the Solutions Enabler libraries:
    Install All Dell Solutions Enabler Shared Libraries and Run Time Environment? [Y]:
    • A [Y]es response installs all the libraries, including persistent data, Thin Core, and Base (which includes the StorBase, StorCtrl, and StorMap library components).
    • A [N]o response installs only persistent data and Thin Core.
  3. At the following prompt, specify whether to install the collection of binaries known as SYMCLI.
    Install Symmetrix Command Line Interface (SYMCLI)? [Y]:
    • A [Y]es response installs the SYMCLI binaries.
    • A [N]o response does not install the SYMCLI binaries.
  4. At the following prompt, specify whether to install the Solutions Enabler Java interface component. You should install this component if your Solutions Enabler application uses a Java interface. A [Y]es response installs the JNI component:
    Install Option to Enable JNI Interface for Dell Solutions Enabler APIs? [N]:
  5. At the following prompt, specify whether to install the Solutions Enabler SRDF session recovery component. A [Y]es response installs the SYMRECOVER component:
    Install Dell Solutions Enabler SYMRECOVER Components ? [Y]:
  6. At the following prompt, specify whether to change the default UNIX file permissions. [Y]es response displays another prompt in which you can specify a new value:
    Do you want to change default permission on /var/symapi directory from [755] ? [N]:
  7. At the following prompt, specify whether you want to use the default lockbox password. The default password is <hostname>@SELockbox1. A [N]o response leaves the default password unchanged and the installation continues:
    Do you want to use the default Lockbox Password? [N]:

    A [Y]es response results in a confirmation request to make sure you really intend to use the default password for the lockbox:

    Please confirm that you want to use the default Lockbox Password [N]:

    A [N]o response results in a prompt for the new password:

    Please enter the Lockbox Password:

    If the password meets the recommended password complexity, the installation asks you to re-enter the same password for confirmation:

    Please re-enter the Password for confirmation:
    NOTE:

    If you choose to use the default lockbox password generated by the installation program, you will have to make a note of it for future use if you need to reset the lockbox Stable System Values or generate certificates for client/server operation. See the Dell PowerMax Family Security Configuration Guide for a description of how the default lockbox password is generated.

    NOTE:If you change the default lockbox password, the default ECOM password is also changed from admin/#1Password to admin/<specified password during installation>.
  8. If you are upgrading, the following prompt displays, asking whether to move the data files of the previous installation to the symapi_old directory. A [Y]es response moves your persistent data from the /usr/emc/API/symapi directory to /usr/emc/API/symapi_old. A [N]o response retains your persistent data:
    Do you want to move this data to /usr/emc/API/symapi_old ? [N]:
  9. At the following prompt, decide whether you want to use the default lockbox password. A [N]o response leaves the default password unchanged and the installation continues:
    Do you want to use the default Lockbox Password? [N]:
