The LSI Logic CIM Solution is a Common Information Model compliant management
application for LSI Logic Mass Storage Elements. This tool allows you to
connect to your local computer on a TCP/IP based network and manage the storage
elements attached to it. The managed elements include SCSI host adapters,SCSI
peripheral devices, and SCSI device drivers installed on the computer.

The LSI Logic CIM Solution consists of two separate software components:
   
    o LSI Logic CIM Browser, and

    o LSI Logic CIM Provider

The LSI Logic CIM Browser provides a means of connecting to the local computer 
on a TCP/IP based network, and manages the storage elements attached to it. 
The LSI Logic CIM Browser may be installed on any machine that you wish to
manage your storage elements. The managed elements include SCSI host adapters,
SCSI peripheral devices, and SCSI device drivers installed on the computer.
You launch the LSI Logic CIM Browser as a Java application by using the Java VM
(Virtual Machine) that the installation package installs.

The LSI Logic CIM Provider is a daemon thread under Linux that runs on the computer
being managed. It provides information about the SCSI controllers and devices connected
to the SCSI controllers on that computer.You must install the LSI Logic CIM Provider on
every computer that you wish to manage.

o About 40 Mbytes of disk space available

o TCP/IP protocol installed and enabled
         
o Set the video card to support at least 256 colors, and set your screen/
  desktop area to be 800 by 600 pixels or greater

o The look & feel of the application will be better viewed under KDE or GNOME

*************************** Installation Requirements ***********************

The LSI Logic CIM solution is a Java-based application and requires the Java
runtime environment. The CIM Solution installation package will automatically
install the Java runtime environment along with LSI Logic CIM Provider and 
LSI Logic CIMBrowser.

In order to perform management, of a computer system, you must configure your
computer system with TCP/IP based networking.


*  *  *  *  *  *  *  Installing the LSI Logic CIM Solution  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  

To install the LSI Logic CIM Solution, you execute an InstallAnywhere setup 
script. If you receive this program on CD-ROM, simply run "install.htm"
to begin the installation. This should pop-up an InstallAnywhere Web Installer
window. A Java Security window also pops-up where in you got to grant
additional privileges for the application to successfully get installed.

To download and launch the installation package, select the "Start Installer
for Linux" button and InstallAnywhere will guide you through the rest of the 
installation process. In the event that this button does not appear in the Web
Browser, launch a terminal window and issue the command ./install.bin from the 
directory where cdrom device can be accessed. The “LSICIMProvider” daemon thread
would have been automatically started by the installation process, so there is no
need to reboot the system.

To verify the installation for the LSI Logic "CIM Provider" Service, follow
these steps: In a terminal window type: /etc/init.d/lsicim start and it should report as
"lsicim is already running". 
    
To verify the installation for the LSI Logic CIM Browser, you launch the
application from /usr/local/bin/LSICim> and type ./CIMLSIBrowser

To uninstall the LSI Logic CIM Solution, follow these steps:

1.  Launch a terminal window and issue the command: cd "path to install dir"

2.  At the command prompt type: /UninstallerData/Uninstall_CIM_Solution

3.  Click the Uninstall button from the InstallAnywhere Uninstaller window

Note:  LSI Logic recommends exiting from the LSI Logic CIM Browser, so that
the uninstall procedure successfully removes all files correctly.


*************************  Restrictions/Limitations  **************************
