After all HDLM components have been installed on a host, if you want to

create a configuration that uses only the HDLM Core components, you

cannot do so by performing an upgrade installation or re-installation. To

re-configure HDLM with only the HDLM Core components, first uninstall

HDLM, and then perform an unattended new installation of HDLM.

If you want to link HDLM to other Hitachi Command Suite products, you

need to install all the HDLM components, not just the HDLM Core

components.

In Windows Server 2003 SP1 or later, if you change an HDLM

management-target device during an upgrade installation and then

restart the host, the KAPL08019-E and KAPL08022-E messages might be

output, and the path status might change to Offline(E) or Online(E). If

this happens, execute the dlnkmgr command's online operation to

change the path status to Online.

Notes on Migration or Upgrade Installation

If either of the following conditions is met, the disk numbers managed by

Windows might be changed from the state they were in prior to a migration

installation or upgrade installation:

The disk numbers managed by Windows are non-consecutive and an

HDLM version earlier than 5.4 is migrated to 5.5 or later

Hitachi's RAID Manager command device is used and an HDLM version

earlier than 5.7 is migrated or upgraded to 5.7.1 or later

If a disk number is changed while the disk is being used by an application,

perform the following:

If the disk number can be changed:

Change the disk number to the number that will be used after the

change.

If the disk number cannot be changed:

Restore the disk number managed by Windows to the number that was in

use prior to the migration installation or upgrade installation. For details

about how to do this, contact Microsoft.

Installing HDLM

First, check whether HDLM has been installed on the host.

When HDLM has already been installed on the host:

in
