Dell EqualLogic PS6210XS EqualLogic Host Integration Tools for Microsoft Editi - Page 17

You can select the same installation options that the regular Windows installer allows. You can install MPIO alone because it does not

require ASM/ME. If you install ASM/ME, then RSW and VSS, the ASMCLI will automatically be installed as well. If you do not specify

these components, you will be prompted accordingly.

To use a PowerShell script to install the Host Integration Tools, the following prerequisites must be met:

•

PowerShell version 2.0 or later is required. You need PowerShell only on the machine from which you are running the install script.

•

In order for new installations to run successfully on remote hosts, ensure that you allow incoming ping requests through the remote

host’s firewall to the remote host. Use

Windows Server Manager

to create new inbound rules for your firewall. Select

ICMPv4

or

ICMPv6

protocol types for IPv4 and IPv6 pings, respectively. If both the local and remote hosts are in the same domain, allow the

connections over the domain profile type.

•

You will be prompted for user name and password credentials in order to install Host Integration Tools on remote hosts added to the

HIT Group. These credentials are never stored; they are only used for the installation. The following requirements must be met:

•

If you are installing on a cluster, you must provide the appropriate credentials (domain user with local administrator rights) across

all cluster nodes.

•

If adding or installing on multiple hosts:

•

Single Domain — For multiple machines that belong to a single domain, you must provide the appropriate user credentials

(domain users with local admin rights) so that ASM/ME can successfully access the machines to perform the required

installations.

•

Single Workgroup — For multiple machines that belong to a single workgroup, each machine must have the same local admin

account credentials.

•

Multiple Domains — For machines across multiple domains, add or install on all the machines from one domain at a time.

•

The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service must be running. This service should be started by default on Windows systems. If it is not

running, or if the firewall is blocking it, the installation will not work.

•

Copy the

Setup.exe

and

Setup64.exe

installation files into a directory of your choice. Because you must specify this directory

multiple times if you are pushing out several installations, you can simplify the process by copying the installation files onto a network

shared directory. (The default installation directory is

C:\Program Files\EqualLogic\bin

, so you can also place it there).

ASM/ME will use these files to initiate the installation procedure on remote hosts. These installation files are available on the CD–ROM

that shipped with your PS Series array, or from the customer support site:

The

BackupDocumentLocation

parameter allows you to specify the backup document directory. This directory is especially important

for cluster installations, for which a network share must be specified. For information about backup document directories and cluster

configurations, see the

Dell EqualLogic Auto-Snapshot Manager/Microsoft Edition User’s Guide

.

When specifying host names, you can specify the host’s IP address, host name, fully qualified domain name, or IPv6 address. Specify an

IPV6 address as follows:

1.

Change all the

:

characters to

-

characters.

2.

If the address has a

%

character, change it to

s

.

3.

Add

.ipv6-literal.net

to the end.

For example, an address of

fe80::2c02:db79%8

must be specified as

fe80—2c02-db79s8.ipv6-literal.net

.

The following table lists the install options that you can specify when running the PowerShell script.
