6. Install Windows, and any non-HDLM drivers.
Install Windows and any non-HDLM drivers by following the
documentation for each of the products.
7. Set up the HBAs.
See the HBA documentation and manual to complete the required setup.
8. If your configuration uses an IP-SAN, install and set up the iSCSI initiator
(iSCSI software or HBA).
For details, see the iSCSI initiator documentation, the documentation for
the HBA, or the storage system documentation.
9. Prepare the LUs.
For each LU that you want to use, be sure to write signatures, create
partitions, and then format them. Because the system is still in the single
path configuration, no problems will occur even if you write a signature
for each LU.
10. Restart the host.
11. Confirm that the host is operating normally.
Preparations for Installing HDLM by Performing an Unattended
Installation
An unattended installation allows a user to install HDLM without having to
enter information into dialog boxes or specify HDLM functions. Instead, the
user defines the required information for the dialog boxes in an installation-
information settings file prior to running the installation. The procedure for an
unattended installation is as follows:
1. Specify the required information for the installation in the installation-
information settings file.
2. Execute the installhdlm utility.
3. Information will be automatically entered into the dialog boxes or HDLM
functions, as defined in the installation-information settings file.
4. The installation will finish and log data will be output, showing the status
and result of the installation.
This section describes the following aspects of an unattended installation:
• How to create an installation-information settings file
• Notes on installation
For details on the installhdlm utility, see
The installhdlm Utility for Installing
HDLM on page 7-17.
