Software Installers (links)

• StorageCare Guardian Software for Windows - Build 251
• StorageCare Guardian Software for Solaris - Build 251
• StorageCare Guardian Software for Linux - Build 251 

Note: The StorageCare Guardian installer will upgrade an existing StorageCare Guardian installation, provided that StorageCare Guardian was originally installed at the default install location. The default install locations for the supported platforms are:

• Windows: C:/Program Files/Quantum/StorageCare_Guardian
• Solaris: /export/home/Quantum/StorageCare_Guardian

If originally installed to the default location as shown above, the StorageCare Guardian installer will detect the existing installation and will upgrade it to the current version, retaining previously configured devices. If StorageCare Guardian was installed to a non-default location, you need to un-install StorageCare Guardian first, install the new software, then re-add your devices to the Agent Configuration Utility.
