Abstract:
1. A method for use in managing software environment installation, the method comprising: identifying a set of data storage systems to be managed via a Flex based data storage management application, wherein the set of data storage systems comprises a flex-access system and java-access system; determining whether the Flex based data storage management application can communicate with every data storage system in the set of data storage systems; in response to determining that the Flex based data storage management application cannot communicate with the java-access system, determining that the installation of a Java operating environment is required to allow the Flex based data storage management application to communicate with the java-access system; based on determining that the installation of the Java operating environment is required to allow the Flex based data storage management application to communicate with the java-access system, delaying the installation of the Java operating environment until an operation is performed requiring the installation of the Java operating environment; and in response to installing the Java operating environment, routing communications to the java-access system through the Java operating environment.
