2 Installing and using the MSA 1040/2040 VDS Hardware Provider or HP MSA 1040/2040 iSCSI VDS Provider This section describes how to install the MSA 1040/2040 VDS Hardware Provider. Note that there are two different versions of the provider. One supports iSCSI devices only, and the other supports Fibre Channel and SAS devices. Both can be installed at the same time if you have a mix of iSCSI and non-iSCSI devices. IMPORTANT: In environments with MSA 2040 combo FC/iSCSI storage systems, do not connect both iSCSI and FC ports from the same controller to the same host. VDS Providers for the different protocols are not supported concurrently for the same controller. 1. Double-click the downloaded hardware provider file to launch the installation. 2. Press the Install button. 3. Follow the onscreen prompts to install the software. The provider is installed in FC or iSCSI subdirectories of: C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HardwareProviders\MSA2040\VDS If a previous version of the 1040/2040 VDS Provider or 1040/2040 iSCSI VDS Provider is already installed, a message tells you that the software is installed but not up to date. 4. Press Install to continue with the installation process or press Close to exit setup. NOTE: Overwriting an existing 1040/2040 or 2040 VDS Provider or 1040/2040 or 2040 iSCSI VDS Provider will not overwrite previously installed hardware providers used with earlier storage systems. 5. To verify the installation, run the DISKRAID list providers subcommand as shown below, and make sure that the HP MSA 1040/2040 VDS Hardware Provider or HP MSA 1040/2040 iSCSI VDS Provider is displayed in the list of providers. DiskRaid is a command-line utility from Microsoft that enables you to configure and manage your storage after the hardware provider is installed.
