Chapter 3 Creating an HDLM Environment

3.6.2.4 Notes on installation

„

Do not forcibly stop the execution of installhdlm.exe during an unattended
installation of HDLM. If you forcibly stop the execution of installhdlm.exe (for
example, if you press Ctrl + C), HDLM installation will not be stopped. If you have
specified y for the restart key in the installation-information settings file, the
computer will restart when the installation finishes successfully. Therefore, make sure
that you check the results of the installation in installhdlm.log if you have forcibly
stopped the execution of installhdlm.exe.

3.6.3 Performing a New Installation of HDLM

3.6.3.1 Performing a New Installation in a Non-Cluster Environment

Before installing HDLM, prepare a license key.

If you want to perform an unattended installation, prepare the installation-information
settings file in which information required for the installation has already been defined.

To install HDLM on a host that does not currently contain HDLM:

1. Log on to the Windows system as a member of the administrators group.

2. Store the license key file directly under the Windows installation-destination drive. You

can also specify a license key directly without using the license key file.

installation-drive

:\hdlm_license

The license key file will be deleted when the installation finishes.

3. Perform the installation.

If you do not want to perform an unattended installation, insert the CD-ROM into the
drive, and then start the installation program setup.exe.
The program checks whether HDLM has already been installed. If HDLM 5.4 or earlier
has been installed, the KAPL09129-E message appears. In this case, perform the
procedure shown in section 3.6.5. If HDLM 5.5 or later has been installed, the
KAPL09173-W message appears. In this case, perform the procedure shown in section
3.6.4. If no message appears, go to step 4.

If you want to perform an unattended installation, insert the CD-ROM into the drive,
and start the installation program installhdlm.exe.
At the command prompt, execute the following command:

drive-to-which-the-installation-CD-ROM-is-
inserted
:\DLMTools\installhdlm.exe -f installation-information-settings-file
(installhdlm.ini)
This command checks whether HDLM has already been installed. If HDLM 5.4 or
earlier has been installed, the KAPL09129-E message appears. In this case, carry out
the procedure shown in section 3.6.5. If HDLM 5.5 or later has been installed, an
upgrade installation is performed, and then the KAPL09183-I message appears.
