Downloading and installing the plugin

2023-01-25Last updated

To integrate the Streamvault™ Maintenance plugin into Security Center, you must install the plugin on a Directory server, the Streamvault servers you want to monitor, and on all client workstations from which you want to configure the plugin.

Before you begin

Make sure of the following:

What you should know

  • Best Practice: Install the Streamvault role on every server that you need to monitor.
  • Important: Ensure each server's iDRAC module is connected to your network and can communicate with the host system. By default the iDRAC module shares the same LAN port as the host system and is configured to get an IP address using DHCP.
  • Important: Ensure the iDRAC module is updated to firmware 6.00 or later, and that the server BIOS is updated to the latest version before proceeding.
  • The plugin is only supported on servers running the Security Center server software.
  • Note: The Streamvault Maintenance plugin comes pre-installed on all compatible Streamvault servers. Because of this, most users only need to create the roles and entities in Security Center. If your server was shipped before the plugin was made available, or if it was uninstalled, follow these steps to install.

Procedure

  1. Open the GTAP Product Download page.
  2. Under Download Finder, select your version of Security Center.
  3. From the Genetec Plugins section, download the package for your product.
  4. Run the .exe file, and then unzip the file.
    By default, the file is unzipped to C:\Genetec.
  5. Open the extracted folder, right-click the setup.exe file, and click Run as administrator.
  6. Follow the installation instructions.
  7. On the Installation Wizard Completed page, click Finish.
    Important: The Restart Genetec™ Server option is selected by default. You can clear this option if you do not want to restart the Genetec™ Server immediately. However, you must restart the Genetec™ Server to complete the installation.
  8. Close, and then open, any instances of Config Tool and Security Desk.
