Installing HDLM 5.5 or later after uninstalling HDLM 5.4 or earlier is called
a migration of HDLM. By doing this, you can keep the settings from the
previous version.
Re-installation of HDLM:
Installing the same version of HDLM, in order to restore the existing
version, without first uninstalling that version is called a re-installation of
HDLM.
When installing HDLM, you can select either of the following modes for
installing the HDLM programs you want:
•
HDLM Core components
Install all HDLM programs except for HDLM GUI and Hitachi Command
Suite Common Agent Component.

Notes on HBAs and HBA Drivers
•
If you are using the Storport Miniport driver as an HBA driver in Windows
Server 2003, install QFE 838894 or later for the Microsoft Storport driver
or install Windows Server 2003 SP1 or later, before installing HDLM.
•
If you are using multiple HBAs, make sure that the models of the HBAs
are the same. Also make sure that the HBA firmware versions and driver
versions are the same.
Notes on Storage systems
•
You must not change the vendor ID and product ID of the storage
system. If you change these IDs, HDLM will not be able to recognize the
storage system.
•
If the host and the storage system are connected via a Fibre Channel
switch, select Point To Point as the connection type. If you select FC-AL
(Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop) as the connection type, an unexpected
path error might occur.
•
Windows can recognize LUNs from 0 to 255. Therefore, set LUNs within
the range from 0 to 255 in the storage system management software.
Notes on HDLM Versions
•
If HDLM 5.4 or earlier has been installed,uninstall HDLM first and then
proceed with a new installation of HDLM by following the procedure
