Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager Software Users Guide for VMWare

• At the auto deploy server, apply the host profile of the relevant
host.
Unless you apply the host profile, HDLM setting changes will not be
saved when the host restarts.
If you install HDLM while the Startup Type setting for the Windows
Installer service is disabled or while another program is using the
Windows Installer service, the installation might fail.
If this problem occurs, make sure that both of the above conditions are
satisfied, and then install HDLM again.
Be aware that even though an upgrade or re-installation of HDLM failed,
the Add/Remove Programs window might indicate that HDLM has been
installed normally.
• In Windows 7 (x64) , Windows Server 2008, and Windows Vista (x64), we
recommend that you install HDLM in a folder other than Program Files.
• When you add the path for the perlpath or vclipath environment variable
of VMware vSphere CLI to the Path system environment variable, do not
enclose the path in double quotation marks (").
If the path is enclosed in double quotation marks ("), operations
performed from Global Link Manager might fail.
Installing HDLM
First, check whether HDLM has already been installed on the host and remote
management client where you are going to install HDLM. If HDLM has already
been installed, follow the procedure described in
Performing an Upgrade
Installation of HDLM on page 3-11 or Performing a Re-installation of HDLM
on page 3-11.
When you install HDLM, Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library will also be
installed.
The file path of the Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library integrated
trace information file is program-installation-destination-drive:\Program
Files
#
\HITACHI\HNTRLib2\spool\Hntr2n.log, where n is the number of the
integrated trace information file.
#
For Windows 7 (x64) , Windows Server 2008, and Windows Vista (x64),
Program Files is Program Files (x86).
Performing a New Installation of HDLM
The following describes how to perform a new installation of HDLM. Perform
the installation process on the remote management client and the host.
The installation procedure described here assumes that VMware vSphere has
been installed on the host, and the host and the storage system are
connected in a multi-path configuration.
