Installing Software Using the Wizard

1. Login with the local administrator (“Administrator”) account when deploying in a workgroup environment (such as a self-guided single server, a highly available pair of servers, or a virtualized SANsymphony server). Login with a domain administrator account when running the wizard to deploy a clustered NAS/SAN solution or clustered virtual machine solution.
2. Save and close all files, programs, and windows. At the end of the installation, it will be necessary to restart the server to finalize the installation process.
3. Copy or download the self-extracting executable to the first server to be installed and click the executable.
4. Accept the End User License Agreement (EULA) to continue with the wizard installation.
5. The installer will extract all required files and documentation to the selected folder and launch the installation wizard.
6. Select a category and deployment scenario to begin the installation and follow the instructions. Read the instructions and information on each window carefully.
7. Each window of the wizard describes the current action along with the status and any additional details. The wizard allows input for some configuration information when required. A check mark designates that the action is completed. Click Next to proceed through each stage of the wizard.

   If there are errors or a step fails, the wizard will pause, and can be resumed where it left off. When the issue has been resolved, the action can be re-run. Once a step has been completed, changes cannot be made in the wizard.

8. After the wizard is finished, open the DataCore Management Console, and continue with the Post-Installation steps.
