Installing hardware providers for HP P6000 disk arrays
This section explains how to install and configure the HP P6000 hardware providers.
If you have not already prepared the server and the array as instructed in “Preparing to install HP
P6000 hardware providers” on page 9, do so before you install the HP P6000 hardware providers
software. The HP P6000 hardware providers will not work if the array and server are not correctly
configured.
IMPORTANT:
A successful installation depends on using compatible versions of the operating system and all installed
software. See the hardware provider release notes for version requirements.
The HP P6000 VDS and VSS hardware providers are installed separately using two different installation
executables. To install both hardware providers, be sure you run both executables. Install the VDS
hardware provider first and the VSS hardware provider second. Installation of the HP P6000 VDS
and VSS hardware providers is very similar; therefore only VDS hardware provider installation is
described.
1. Before you start installation, use the ping command to test communication with the P6000
Command View server.
