Notes on Creating an HDLM Environment
This section provides notes on creating an HDLM environment.
For details about operating HDLM, see
Notes on Using HDLM on page 4-2
.
Notes on HBAs and HBA Drivers
•
If you are using the Storport Miniport driver as an HBA driver in Windows
Server 2003, install QFE 838894 or later for the Microsoft Storport driver
or install Windows Server 2003 SP1 or later, before installing HDLM.
•
If you are using multiple HBAs, make sure that the models of the HBAs
are the same. Also make sure that the HBA firmware versions and driver
versions are the same.
Notes on Storage systems
•
You must not change the vendor ID and product ID of the storage
system. If you change these IDs, HDLM will not be able to recognize the
storage system.
•
If the host and the storage system are connected via a Fibre Channel
switch, select Point To Point as the connection type. If you select FC-AL
(Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop) as the connection type, an unexpected
path error might occur.
•
Windows can recognize LUNs from 0 to 255. Therefore, set LUNs within
the range from 0 to 255 in the storage system management software.
Notes on HDLM Versions
•
If HDLM 5.4 or earlier has been installed, remove HDLM first and then
proceed with a new installation of HDLM by following the procedure
described in
Migrating from HDLM 5.4 or Earlier to HDLM 5.5 or Later on
•
For HDLM 5.6 or later, the trace files for HDLM versions earlier than 5.6
are divided into integrated trace files and trace files. The logs for the
HDLM commands and HDLM GUI operations are output to integrated trace
files. Trace information for the HDLM manager is output to trace files. The
output destinations for the files are changed as follows:

HDLM version 5.6 or later

\spool\hntrn.log
(n indicates a file number)
- Integrated trace files after migration:
