Pre-installation checklist
ASC provides client software for many platforms and protocols. Please check
the following lists for the versions and the patch levels (if applicable) that are
currently supported. While this information is accurate as of the date of its
release, you should check the certification matrix on the Acer website for any
updates.
Notes:
• The ASC Client should not be installed onto a networked drive.
• Client software requires network connectivity to the ASC Server,
preferably on a separate, ASC-only network. This means that normal
LAN traffic does not occur on the adapter(s) dedicated to the ASC
storage network.
The ASC Server grants storage access to the client. In order for a client to be
able to access storage, you must establish a trusted relationship between the
client and server. This prevents other computers from masquerading as the
client and accessing storage that it does not have rights to. In order to establish
a trusted relationship, you must do two things:
• Add the client in the Console and assign storage resources to the client.
• Add the server to the client from the Client Monitor.

‘Add/configure an ASC SAN Client’ in the
“Manage ASC SAN Clients” chapter.
