15. A storage area network management server device having a processor responsive to a set of instructions for installing an agent on a host computer comprising: a processor responsive to a set of instructions for installing an agent on a host computer, the set of instructions further comprising: an install engine operable to identify a candidate agent and a corresponding prerequisite check from among a plurality of predetermined prerequisite checks, the prerequisite check indicative of installability of the candidate agent on a host computer the install engine including a results analyzer further configured to: retrieve the configuration parameters corresponding to the candidate agent, the configuration parameters stored in a media repository operable for storing the plurality of predetermined prerequisite checks; and identify, from a check label in the configuration parameters, at least one prerequisite check corresponding to the candidate agent for installation on the host computer; wherein the check label identifies the at least one prerequisite check to be performed, each of the check labels indicative of a particular check in a script information file, the script information file storing a plurality of checks, each of which corresponds to a particular agent and identifies a corresponding prerequisite script based on the check label; a set of configuration parameters, the install engine including a bundler operable to generate a script bundle based on the set of configuration parameters corresponding to the candidate agent and the identified prerequisite check, the configuration parameters defined in a template format adapted to define a plurality of configuration parameter sets; and a network interface, responsive to the install engine, operable to invoke the generated script bundle on the host computer for computing the installation status of the candidate agent based on the results of executing the script bundle and predetermined prerequisite criteria.

The storage area network management device of claim 15 wherein the install engine is further operable to: invoke the script bundle via the network interface; collect results from each of the prerequisite checks indicative of the outcome of executing the script bundle on the host computer; and analyze, based on cumulative results of each of the prerequisite checks, an operational status indicative of whether the candidate agent may be installed on the host.
