settings file, go to step 11.

settings file, go to step 16.

4.

The program checks the MPIO driver version, and then installs the MPIO driver.

If a message appears, asking you whether you want to install the MPIO driver,

make sure that no multi-path management software other than HDLM is installed.

If multi-path management software other than HDLM is installed, click the

Cancel button to cancel the installation, uninstall the multi-path

management software, and then install HDLM.

If no multi-path management software other than HDLM is installed, click

the Next button to continue the installation.

5.

Follow the instructions shown in the messages that appear in the window.

If a license key file was saved in step 2, specify that license key file.
If a license key file is not being used, specify the license key directly.

6.

Specify the installation folder by following the instructions shown in the

messages that appear in the window.
The utility for registering HDLM persistent reservation keys (

dlmprsvkey

) will

be automatically executed. However, creation of the PRSV key might be

unsuccessful if, for example, an NIC does not exist. If the PRSV key is created

with time information only, or if key creation fails, a dialog box will prompt you

to enter a PRSV key.
If this dialog box appears, go to step 7; otherwise, go to step 9.

7.

Enter the PRSV key by following the instructions shown in the dialog box.
The PRSV key is required for the HDLM functions to properly operate. Also, the

value of the PRSV key must be unique for each host.

8.

If the KAPL09128-W message appears, you will need to re-enter a correct PRSV

key.
If a message does not appear, go to the next step.

9.

Select an HDLM management-target device only when the OS is one of the

following:

Windows Server 2003 (x86) SP1 or later
Windows Server 2003 (IPF) SP1 or later

Windows Server 2003 (x64)
