88 Chapter 3 Creating an HDLM Environment
8. The utility for registering HDLM persistent reservation keys (dlmprsvkey) is
automatically executed to create a PRSV key. The PRSV key is required for the HDLM
functions to operate normally. Also, the value of the PRSV key must be unique among
hosts. Creation of the PRSV key may be unsuccessful if, for example, an NIC does not
exist. Do one of the following in accordance with the result of the execution of the
dlmprsvkey utility:
– If the key creation is successful, the created PRSV key appears in the dialog box. If
you do not need to change the value, click the Next button. If you must change the
value because another host already has the same PRSV key, change the value and
then click the Next button. If you want to undo the change, click the Back button
and then start over from step 7.
– If the key creation is unsuccessful, a dialog box appears that prompts you for the
PRSV key. Enter the PRSV key, and then click the OK button.
For the values you can specify for the PRSV key, follow the instructions shown in the
installation program window.
9. The program checks the PRSV key. If the KAPL09128-W message appears, follow the
procedure below:
– You are prompted to re-enter the PRSV key. Enter an appropriate PRSV key. The
program then checks the PRSV key again.
– If no message appears, go to the next step.
10. Select an HDLM management-target device only when the operating system is one of the
following:
– Windows Server 2003 (IA32) SP1 or later
– Windows Server 2003 (IPF) SP1 or later
The Hitachi USP V, TagmaStore, Lightning, Thunder Series and HP StorageWorks XP
Series option is always selected. To select the EMC DMX series and EMC CX series as the
HDLM management-target device, select EMC Symmetrix DMX Series, CLARiiON CX
Series. To select the HP EVA series as the HDLM management-target device, select HP
StorageWorks EVA Series.
11. Follow the instructions shown in the messages that appear on the window.
– If a dialog box that begins with the following sentence appears during installation,
and the Storport Miniport driver is used as the HBA driver, stop the HDLM
installation. Then, install QFE838894 or a later version of the Microsoft Storport
driver, or install Windows Server 2003 SP1 or later.
Notes on using a Storport Miniport driver:
Read these notes before using a Storport Miniport driver as an HBA driver.
The file version of the Storport.sys of this system (Microsoft Storport driver) is
n.n.nnnn.n.
When using a Storport Miniport driver as an HBA driver:
Update the Storport Miniport driver to a Storport.sys with a file version n.n.nnnn.n
or later.
– The PRSV key is registered before the installation finishes. If the KAPL09131-W
message appears, follow the procedure described in step 13.
