MANUAL INSTALLATION
Manual installation is based on the sourceforge storageim_betax_x.zip download. This downloaddoes not come with MySQL or a java basded web server such as Apache Tomcat. This distributionis used for Unix and Windows installations where Tomcat and or MySQL may already be installedor a manual configuration is necessary.
In order to install storageim, you will need to download and use the following1. Apache Web Server or JBOSS2. MySQL 5.0 or greater (Community or Enterprise)3. StorageIM release4. Java 1.5 or greaterhttp://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp
MANUAL INSTALLATION STEPS
MySQL Installation and Configuration1. Download and install MySQL 5.0 or greater fromhttp://www.mysql.org/downloads/
a. Using the MySQL command line, create a new MySQL username=storageim andpassword=storageimi. Grant all on storageim.* to storageim@localhost identified by storageim;

b. Using the mysql command line client utility, perform the followingi. Mysql> source "DOWNLOAD_PATH\storageim.sql"
Apache Tomcat 6.x Installation and Configuration1. Download and install Apache Tomcat fromhttp://tomcat.apache.org/
a. Copy the storageim.war in the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directoryb. Start Apache Tomcat
UPGRADINGCurrently, there is no upgrade installer for StorageIM. If you need information on upgrading from a

ADMINISTRATIONIn order for storageim to discover any hardware devices, SMI-S based providers must be installed
prior to storageim discovery. Check your vendor website for information regarding their SMI-S
provider implementation or visit SNIAs provider pages,
http://www.snia.org/forums/smi/tech_programs/ctp/conformingproviders/
CONFIGURING AN SMI-SAGENTBased on your hardware vendors provider documentation, you must provide authentication values
in order to establish a connection. Open a browser and go to storageim,
http://ipaddress:8080/storageim.
Click the Administration tab: Currently you should see no CIMOMs in the list. Click System
Config.
Add SMI-S Agent
Name: Arbitrary Name used to define the CIMOM/provider
Protocol: protocol configured on the CIMOM
IPAddress: CIMOM/Provider IP Address

Namespace: Location Where provider stores collected Hardware data
Username/Password: Credentials Used to authenticate against provider
Discovery Interval: The interval to discover a CIMOM/Provider
Data Retention: How long will storageim save the data collected
Once a CIMOM credentials are created, storageim will add the CIMOM to discovery.
Created CIMOM
MONITORING DATA
Based on the discovery interval that was set during the addition of a SMI-S Agent, StorageIM will
attempt a discovery. Currently, StorageIM supports SMI-S 1.1 for array, switch, HBA, VMWare ESX,
and partial iSCSI based devices.
TESTING AN SMI-SAGENT
StorageIM allows you to test SMI-S agents prior to adding them to the StorageIM configuration

STORAGEIMADMINISTRATIONStorageIM uses user authentication to login to the user interface. Currently there are two
authentication roles, basic and administrator. A basic user is allowed view privileges only. They
have no Administrator or Active Management Privileges. If a user is a non-administrator, the
administration and Active Management tabs will not be visible.

DATABASE
storageim uses MySQL as its relational database for storage of current and historic data.
SLP
Service Location Protocol provides the ability to advertise a vendors service if their provider is
configured to do so. StorageIM incorporated SLP discovery in order to discover a providers
existence before configuring. This allows a user to make sure that a provider is installed and
configured correctly. SLP discovery in StorageIM allows for both unicast and multicast discovery.
Unicast discovery is a manual process in which you must provide an IP Address or host name that
has a SLP server agent or directory agent installed. The multicast SLP discovery automatically
discovers SLP agents. You can also use the multicast Rediscover button to push a new multicastrediscovery.

The SLP Add button is used to copy over the SLP discovered attributes in a specific row for
configuring an SMI-S Agent. The SLP Add button will only carry over the protocol, IPAddress,
port, and chosen namespace. You will still have to provide a unique name, username, password,
discovery interval and data retention variables during configuration.
