Running the installation wizard

To install the IBM® Storage Management Pack, run the installation wizard as described in the following procedure.

Before you begin

Attention: Before installing, updating, or uninstalling the IBM Storage Management Pack, close the configuration shell (scomu.cmd) and all other running applications that may be using the IBM Storage Solutions External Runtime Components (such as the IBM XIV® Host Attachment Kit). This is to avoid errors or disruptive restart of the host server.

About this task

You can install the IBM Storage Management Pack on the Microsoft SCOM management server and on all site servers that run SCOM agents. This allows monitoring data to be collected by each SCOM agent service, which then sends the data to the SCOM management server.
