3.6 Installing HDLM
Before installing, check whether HDLM has been installed on the installation-target host.
When HDLM has been installed on the host, you can upgrade HDLM by performing an update
installation as described in section
3.6.4 or 3.6.5.
When you install HDLM, Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library will also be installed. The
file path of the integrated trace information file of Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace
Library is installation-destination-drive:\Program
Files\HITACHI\HNTRLib2\spool\Hntr2n.log, where n is the number of the
integrated trace information file. In Windows Server 2003 (IPF and x64), replace Program
Files with Program Files (x86).
3.6.1 Preparations for a New Installation of HDLM
For an FC connection, check the topology (Fabric, AL, etc.) and perform setup as
appropriate.
To prepare for HDLM installation:
1. Use a single cable to connect the host to the storage system (single path configuration).
Using multiple paths to connect a host and a storage system (a multi-path configuration)
before installing HDLM may cause unstable Windows operation. Make sure that you use a
single-path configuration until HDLM installation finishes.
Figure 3.3 shows a single path configuration and a multi-path configuration.
