Hitachi Storage Command Suite common component 
considerations
Before installing Navigator 2, be sure no products other than Hitachi 
Storage Command Suite Common Component are using port numbers 
1099, 23015 to 23018, 23032, and 45001 to 49000. If other products are 
using these ports, you cannot start Navigator 2, even if the Navigator 2 
installation completes without errors.
If other Hitachi Storage Command products are running:
• Stop the services or daemon process for those products.
• Be sure any installed Hitachi Storage Command Suite Common 
Components are not operating in a cluster configuration. If the host is 
in the cluster configuration, configure it for a stand-alone configuration 
according to the manual.
• Back up the Hitachi Storage Command database before installing 
Navigator 2.

Installing Navigator 2
After ensuring that your configuration meets the system 
requirements described in the previous chapter, use the 
instructions in this chapter to install the Navigator 2 software on 
your management console PC.
The topics covered in this chapter are:
ˆTypes of installations
ˆInstalling Navigator 2 
						

							3–2Installing Navigator 2
Hitachi Storage Navigator Modular 2 User’s Guide
Types of installations
Navigator 2 supports two types of installations:
• Interactive installations — attended installation that displays graphical 
windows and requires user input.
• Silent installations — unattended installation using command-line 
parameters that do not require any user input.
This chapter describes the interactive installation procedure. For 
information about performing silent installations using CLI commands, refer 
to the Hitachi Storage Navigator Modular 2 Command Line Interface (CLI) 
User’s Guide (MK-97DF8089) or the Navigator 2 online help.
Before proceeding, be sure you reviewed and completed all pre-installation 
requirements described in Chapter 2, Preinstallation Information.
Installing Navigator 2
The following sections describe how to install Navigator 2 on a management 
console running one of the Windows, Solaris, or Linux operating systems 
that Navigator 2 supports (see Chapter 2, Preinstallation Information).
During the Navigator installation procedure, the installer creates the 
directories _HDBInstallerTemp and StorageNavigatorModular. You can 
delete these directories if necessary. 
To perform this procedure, you need the IP address (or host name) and port 
number that will be used to access Navigator 2. Avoid port number 1099 if 
this port number is available and use a port number such as 2500 instead.
Getting started (all users)
For all users, to start the Navigator 2 installation procedure
1. Find out the IP address of the management console (e.g., using 
ipconfig on Windows or ifconfig on Solaris and Linux). This is the IP 
address you use to log in to Navigator 2, so long as it is a static IP 
address. Record this IP address in Table C-1 on page C-1. You will be 
prompted for it during the Navigator 2 installation procedure.
2. Disable pop-up blockers in your Web browser. We also recommend that 
you disable anti-virus software and proxy settings on the management 
console when installing the Navigator 2 software.
NOTE:Installing Navigator 2 also installs the Hitachi Storage Command 
Suite Common Component. If the management console has other Hitachi 
Storage Command products installed, the Hitachi Storage Command Suite 
Common Component overwrites the current Hitachi Storage Command 
Suite Common Component.
NOTE:On Hitachi storage systems, the default IP addressed for the 
management ports are 192.168.0.16 for Controller 0 and 192.168.0.17 for 
Controller 1.

3. Proceed to the appropriate section for the operating system running on 
your management console:
•  Microsoft Windows. See Installing Navigator 2 on a Windows 
operating system, below.
• Solaris. See Installing Navigator 2 on a Sun Solaris operating 
system on page 3-10.
•  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Linux. 
See Installing Navigator 2 on a Red Hat Linux operating system on 
page 3-11.
The installation process takes about 15 minutes to complete. During the 
installation, the progress bar can pause for several seconds. This is 
normal and does not mean the installation has stopped.
Installing Navigator 2 on a Windows operating system
To install Navigator 2 on a Navigator 2-supported version of 
Microsoft Windows
1. Windows Vista users: Open the command prompt and then close it.
2. Insert the Navigator 2 CD in the management console CD drive and 
follow the installation wizard. If the CD does not auto-run, double-click 
the following file, where nnnn is the Navigator 2 version number:
\program\hsnm2_win\HSNM2-nnnn-W-GUI.exe
3. When prompted for an IP address, enter the IP address for your 
management console, which you obtained in step 1 and recorded in 
Table C-1 on page C-1.
4. After you insert the Hitachi Storage Navigator Modular 2 installation CD-
ROM into the management console’s CD/DVD-ROM drive, the installation 
starts automatically and the Welcome window appears.

If your Navigator 2 installation fails, see If the Installation Fails on a 
Windows Operating System on page 11-2.
If the installation fails on a Windows operating system
Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a Windows security feature intended to 
prevent an application or service from executing code from a non-
executable memory region. DEP perform checks on memory to prevent 
malicious code or exploits from running on the system by shut down the 
process once detected. However, DEP can accidentally shut down legitimate 
processes, like your Navigator 2 installation. 
If your management console runs Windows Server 2003 SP1 or Windows XP 
SP2 or later, and your Navigator 2 installation fails, disable DEP.
To disable DEP
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click System.
3. In the System Properties window, click the Advanced tab.
