3.5 Installing HDLM
First, check whether HDLM has been installed on the host.
When HDLM has already been installed on the host:
You can upgrade HDLM by performing an update installation as described in
3.5.5 Upgrade Installation or Re-installation of HDLM or 3.5.6 Migrating from
HDLM 5.4 or Earlier to HDLM 5.5 or Later.
When you install HDLM, Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library will also be
installed. The file path of the Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library integrated
trace information file is installation-destination-drive
:\Program

Follow the procedure explained here to install HDLM, even in cases where the boot
disk is an HDLM-managed device.
3.5.1 Preparations for a New Installation of HDLM
The following explains what you need to do before performing a new installation of
HDLM.
For an FC connection, check the topology (Fabric, AL, etc.) and perform an
appropriate setup.
To prepare for an HDLM installation:
1.
Use a single cable to connect the host to the storage system.
Using multiple paths to connect a host to a storage system before installing
HDLM might result in unstable Windows operations. Make sure that you only use
a single-path configuration until the HDLM installation is done.
Figure 3-2: Single Path Configuration and Multi-path Configuration shows a
single path configuration and a multi-path configuration.
