Flow for Creating an HDLM Environment Set up the environment to use HDLM as follows. Figure 3-1 Flow of HDLM Environment Setup HDLM Installation Types This subsection describes the following types of HDLM installation: new installation, upgrade installation, and re-installation. New installation of HDLM: Installing HDLM on a server on which HDLM has not been installed is called a new installation of HDLM. Re-installation of HDLM: A re-installation of HDLM involves installing the same version of HDLM again to repair an existing installation. You must uninstall HDML before re-installing it. Notes on Creating an HDLM Environment This section provides notes on creating an HDLM environment. • Make sure that all HBAs that are on a single host and connected to HDLMmanaged disks are of the same type and have the same microprogram version. If you are using more than one type of HBA, paths will not be able to be switched when an error occurs. • If the Windows version of HDLM is already installed on the machine that is to serve as the remote management client, uninstall it before proceeding. The VMware and Windows versions of HDLM cannot coexist on the same remote management client. • If you install HDLM for the first time, a license key is necessary. The expiration date of the license key is determined by the license key specified in the license key file or the input license key type.
