Download the Windows Toolkit
Before you begin
To download the NWT, you must have an Internet connection from the Windows
host to the Nimble Storage InfoSight™.
Important: Nimble Setup Manager (NSM) is only required for array setup. If performing
these steps from Windows 7 or later no other components can be
installed.
What you need on the Windows host:
- Internet connection to Nimble Storage InfoSight™
- .NET Framework 4.5.2
- Adobe Flash Player
Download the latest version of the Nimble Windows Toolkit (NWT) for installation on your Windows host or Windows VM.
Important: Make sure that the
version of NWT is compatible with the version of NimbleOS on your array. For
example, NWT 3.x requires NimbleOS 3.0 or later. For compatibility information, see
the Nimble Storage Support Matrix.

Release Notes.
Review the list of Windows Server hotfixes. Note: If you are installing Nimble Setup Manager alone, then no hotfixes are needed. However, .NET framework requirements still apply. Hotfix requirements are mandatory for any Windows host in which Nimble Connection Manager or the iSCSI Initiator is used to connect to Nimble volumes.
