Installing StorNext
You can install the StorNext software on a server. When you have successfully installed the StorNext
software, use the Configuration Wizard to configure the software. (After initial configuration, you can
use the StorNext GUI to change your configuration parameters.) You are then ready to use the
StorNext software.
You can also run the StorNext software on a client machine by downloading the client files from the
server and then installing them on your client. You can install client files on machines that use an SGI
IRIX, Solaris, Linux, IBM AIX, HP-UX, or Windows (2000, 2003 Server, and XP) operating system.
