2 Installing EVA Cluster Extension Software

This chapter describes the installation of EVA Cluster Extension in MSCS environments with HP EVA

disk arrays.

This version of EVA Cluster Extension allows you to install, uninstall, modify, and repair EVA Cluster

Extension on all of the nodes in a cluster by running the installer from one node in the cluster. This
