3.2 Installing 3PAR VSS Provider for Microsoft Windows

To ensure that the correct level of the Windows operating system is installed:

On Windows 2003

1

Click Start > My Computer.

2

Right-click My Computer.

3

Click Properties to look for system information under the General tab.

On Windows 2008

1

Click Start>Sever Manager (or Start>Programs>Administrative Tools>Server

Manager for the classical start menu) to look for system information.

For both versions of Windows, ensure that Microsoft Windows Server and the appropriate

Service Pack is displayed. Please refer to the appropriate InForm OS Configuration Matrix (PN

320-200099) which can be accessed through the 3PAR Document Control System (DCS).

NOTE: Prior to installing 3PAR VSS Provider for Microsoft Windows, the host

server must have 3PAR InForm CLI installed and configured. All corresponding

InServ Storage Servers need to have a Virtual Copy license and a VSS Provider for

Microsoft Windows license enabled. For instructions on installing and configuring

3PAR InForm CLI, please refer to

System Setup

on page 3.2.

NOTE: If you are installing the application through a remote desktop session, the

newly added environment variables will not become effective until you log off

from the current session. It is recommended that you install the application

directly from the system console.

NOTE: By default, the 3PAR VSS Provider for Microsoft Windows installation only

provides support for a single InServ Storage Server registration. Additional InServ

Storage Servers need to be set up and registered using the

ProvCfg.exe

utility.
