Installing Emulex EZPilot on the Windows management server There must be only one Windows management server connected to the EVA4100. During the installation, the SAN components are configured and the EVA4100 is initialized. For more information on EZPilot, see the Emulex EZPilot User Manual. To install Emulex EZPilot Manager and HP Command View EVA on a Windows management server: 1. If you did not save the license key/password file on the server or on a networked drive mapped to the server, copy the license key/password file generated in Section 7 to the management server. 2.

Creating logical drives using EZPilot Manager To make the EVA4100 storage available to your servers, you must create logical drives and assign them to the appropriate host. This is done using EZPilot Manager. For complete information on creating logical drives, see the Emulex EZPilot User Manual. NOTE: You must install the Emulex driver and utilities on any Linux servers connected to the EVA4100 to make them visible to EZPilot Manager and to assign logical drives to your Linux servers (see Section 11). 1. On your Windows management server, click Start. 2. Select All Programs > Emulex > EZPilot Manager Utility. EZPilot Manager launches, displaying the Discovery Information screen. 3. If there are no logical drives on the EVA4100, you will be prompted to create them with the EZPilot Add logical Drive Wizard. Click Yes. 4. Select the Logical Drive Type you want to create, assign a size, and optionally a name to the new logical drive, and then click Next. The Logical Drive Host Assignment dialog box opens. 5. Select the host (and its adapters) to which you want to assign the logical drive. If Assign to this host only is selected, only the local host and its adapters are displayed. Typically, a logical drive is assigned to only one host. Click Next. The Logical Drive Initialization and Volume Access dialog box opens. 6. You can optionally format the drive and assign a drive letter or mount directory, and then click Next. The Logical Drive Creation dialog box opens. 7. To create the logical drive, verify the logical drive parameters, and then click Create Logical Drive. 8. When the creation is complete, click Next. The Finish window opens. 9. To create an additional logical drive, click Next, and then repeat Step 4 through Step 8. 10. When you are finished creating logical drives, clear the Create another logical drive box, and then click Finish. Section 11. Installing the Emulex driver and utilities on a Linux non-management server This section applies only if you are connecting Linux servers to the EVA4100. A Linux non-management server must be running one of the following Linux versions: • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (latest update) • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (latest service pack) • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (latest service pack) For complete instructions on installing the Emulex drivers and utilities for Linux, see the documentation on the Emulex Linux Installation CD included in the HP EVA4100 SAN Starter Media kit. To create a Linux non-management server: 1. Ensure a supported version of the Linux operating system is installed on the server. 2. Update with the ProLiant Support Pack (for HP servers). 3. Install the Emulex driver for Linux. 4. Install the Emulex HBAnyware utility to configure the HBAs with the correct firmware/BIOS. 5. Install the Emulex MultiPulse utility on your system to allow for multipathing in a High Availability (HA) environment.
