3.3 Installing on Debian or Ubuntu Linux

This section describes how to install maxView Storage Manager on systems running Debian or Ubuntu Linux.
  1. Open a shell window, then change to the directory where the Linux installer package is located (see Download the Installation Package for details).
  2. Install the .deb package for your operating system version (x.xx-xxxxx=version-build number).
    OptionDescription
    Linux 64-bit dpkg -i StorMan-X.XX-XXXXX_amd64.deb
  3. When prompted for configuration details, enter the following:

    Standalone Mode: [default: No]

    Note: Standalone Mode disables remote system management from the GUI. maxView Storage Manager displays the system name as "localhost", and events as "127.0.0.1/localhost".

    Desktop Web Application Mode: [default: No]

    Note: Desktop web application mode does not install the services. It disables the remote system management from the GUI.
  4. Repeat these steps to install maxView Storage Manager on every Debian and Ubuntu Linux system that will be part of your storage space.
  5. Before upgrading/re-installing maxView Storage Manager on an existing Ubuntu/Debian installation, enable the upgrade switch before installing the maxView .deb package:
    export maxView_Upgrade=true
    dpkg -i StorMan-*.deb

When the installation is complete you receive a confirmation message and the maxView Storage Manager icon is placed on your desktop.
