MegaRAID Storage Manager(MSM) Installation
==========================================

The kit contains both mode of installation. The interactive and non-interactive.
To, install the product using interactive mode, the user may execute setup or may execute the command "msiexec /i <.msi file>" from the installation disk.
To, install the product in a non-interactive or silent mode, the user should use the command "msiexec /i <.msi file> -qn" from the installation disk.

The installer provides the user with three types of setup option.
1. Complete - This will install all the features of the product.
2. Client Components Only - The storelib feature of the product will not be installed in this type of installation. As a result, the resident system will only be able to administer and configure all the servers in the network, but will not be able to serve as a server.
3. StandAlone - Only the networking feature will not be installed in this case. So, the resident system will not a part of network. In other words, the system will not be able to browse any other MSM servers in the network, nor, any one will recognize it as a server.

The interactive mode of installation will help the user to select any of the setup type, but the non-interactive/silent mode, will install the Complete feature.
