Contributors netapp-aoife netapp-aherbin

Installing ONTAP Mediator includes preparing for the installation, providing access to repositories, downloading the installation package, verifying the code signature, installing the ONTAP Mediator package, and performing post-installation configuration tasks.

To install or upgrade ONTAP Mediator, you must ensure that all prerequisites are met.

You should enable access to repositories so that ONTAP Mediator can access the required packages during the installation process.

Download the ONTAP Mediator installation package from the ONTAP Mediator download page.

NetApp recommends verifying the ONTAP Mediator code signature before installing the ONTAP Mediator installation package.

To install or upgrade ONTAP Mediator, you must get the installation package and run the installer on the host.

After you install ONTAP Mediator, verify that it is running successfully.

If your ONTAP Mediator version has SCST installed and you need to upgrade your host OS, you uninstall and reinstall ONTAP Mediator as part of the host upgrade. You can reinstall the current version of ONTAP Mediator or a new version if one is available. You can skip this step if you don't need to upgrade your OS, or if the SCST package is not installed because you installed ONTAP Mediator with support for HTTPS and not iSCSI.

After ONTAP Mediator is installed and running, additional configuration tasks must be performed to use the ONTAP Mediator features.
