PRIMERGY - HOW TO INSTALL GAM SOFTWARE  
Installation of GAM on             
PRIMERGY Servers with MS Windows NT 4.0 installed
===================================================

The Global Array Manager (GAM) from MYLEX is a client/server RAID management software to manage 
Mylex RAID Controllers and administer (configure, monitor and manage) the RAID Controllers 
via network.

GAM consists of 3 parts (GAM server, GAM client, GAM driver). The installation is described in 
this readme file. 

In case you purchased a new PRIMERGY server you will also find a ServerStart CD-ROM in the
package. We recommend to install the Mylex GAM software via ServerStart.

If you have neither a current ServerStart CD-ROM nor diskettes for installation please download
the necessary software from:

http://www.fsc-pc.de/support

In that case please skip the steps related to the ServerStart CD.


Installation GAM Server / GAM Driver
========================================

The GAM server will be installed to all PRIMERGY systems on which you want to administer the
RAID systems. The GAM driver is installed automatically.

- Please check first which RAID-Controller (DAC 960PD/PG/PJ/PRL, DAC1164P) is in your system.
- Ensure to have a running Windows NT 4.0 on this PRIMERGY server.
- Insert the ServerStart CD-ROM (and follow any installation instructions).
- The ServerStart application starts automatically.
- Find "Mylex GAM SW" in the "Application" menu.
- When selecting the entry mentioned above you will get a list in the right frame.
- Select "Install GAM Server ..." - take care of the type of your RAID-Controller (PD / PG ...).
- Follow the installation instructions.
- ServerStart will customize GAM's configuration file accordingly.

If you install Mylex GAM NOT via ServerStart, the following steps are necessary :
- Reply with 'Yes' if you are asked whether you want to edit GAM's configuration file.
- Edit the file C:\<NT system directory>\system32\gamserv\gamscm.cnf as follows:

	* Remove character "#" from the following lines:
	   1) gamevlog.exe -f C:\winnt\sys...
	   2) @gamsetsz.exe -f C:\winnt\sys...
	   3) gamevent.exe -k 119 -s 7 -p 158 -h gamcli...
	* Replace in line 3) "gamclient1" by the IP-address of your GAM client system.
	* If there are more than one monitoring systems replace "gamclient2" and "gamclient3"
          by the corresponding IP-addresses. 
	* Remove all characters in line 3) after the last valid IP-address.
	* If there are PRIMERGY extension units (e.g. PRIMERGY S40DF/702SF/702SX/...)
          please remove the character "#" in line:
	   4) @gamconfg.exe -c 5 -t 32 -T ...
	* Save and close the GAM configuration file.

- DO NOT REBOOT now !
- Copy the current version of the file 'MYLEXDRV.SIZ' from the ServerStart CD-ROM to the
  GAM directory (overwrite existing file):
        * Source: <CD-Drive>:\Tools\GENERAL\DOSTools\EZAssist\Mylexdrv.siz
        * Destination: C:\<NT system directory>\system32\gamserv\
- Start the NT Registry editor "regedt32".
- Remove in
  "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/SNMP/Parameters/ExtensionAgents"
  the entry containing the word "Mylex".
- Close "regedt32" and restart the system.


Installation of GAM Client
============================

Install GAM-Client on your management station (that system where you want to monitor the RAID
systems). The GAM-Client can also be installed on any monitored server to administer the local
RAID system. Please note to enter the IP-address of the server (as monitoring system) to the
GAM's configuration file "gamscm.cnf" (see Installation of GAM server).

- Insert the ServerStart CD-ROM (and follow the installation instructions).
- The ServerStart application starts automatically.
- Find "Mylex GAM SW" in the "Application" menu.
- Select "Install GAM Client" in the right frame.
- Follow the installation instructions.

The GAM-Software installation is complete now. 

For the administration of the RAID system create an user "gamroot" in the NT-domain (or on the 
monitored server). This is necessary as authentification to work with GAM client. 
Note: it is NOT enough to authenticate as Administrator - in that case you only have restricted
rights.
