Installation Instructions
If you are installing the hardware providers for the first time, proceed with the installation normally.
If you have a previous version of the hardware providers installed, then remove the previous provider
version using the Windows Add/Remove Programs Control Panel. Alternately, the installer will
automatically remove the previous installations of the hardware provider software. Before removing
the hardware providers, issue a net stop VSS and/or a net stop VDS command from the
command line.
You must install HP StorageWorks RAID Manager Library before you install the hardware providers.
If you do not, the providers will install but will not function. For information on RAID Manager library
