3. Creating an HDLM Environment

3.6 Checking the Path Configuration, and make sure that you have successfully

installed HDLM in a single-path configuration.

27. Connect cables to all the HBAs to change the configuration to a multi-path

configuration.

28. Check the path information as described in 3.6 Checking the Path Configuration

to make sure that you have successfully assembled a multi-path configuration.

3.5.5 Upgrade Installation or Re-installation of HDLM

You can perform an upgrade installation for only HDLM 5.5 or later. To migrate

HDLM 5.4 or earlier to version 5.5 or later, see 3.5.6 Migrating from HDLM 5.4 or

Earlier to HDLM 5.5 or Later.
The procedure for an upgrade installation or re-installation is the same as for a new

installation of HDLM, with the exception of the following steps:

Executing the

dlmchkpath

utility to check the HDLM paths.

The

dlmchkpath

utility is executed automatically when the installation program

(

setup.exe

) starts. The

dlmchkpath

utility checks whether the system is in a

single-path or multi-path configuration. If a warning dialog box appears in a

Windows Server 2003 environment in which no service packs are installed, return

everything to a single-path configuration, and then upgrade or reinstall HDLM.

Note, however, that when an unattended installation is used and the system is

determined to be in a multi-path configuration, an HDLM upgrade installation or

re-installation will end and no warning dialog boxes will be displayed.
For details about the

dlmchkpath

utility, see 7.5 The dlmchkpath Utility for

Checking HDLM Paths.

Entering the license key

The window displays the type and expiration date of the license key, which were

both entered when HDLM was installed for the first time. If the license key has

expired, the procedure is the same as for a new installation.

Checking the PRSV key

If an appropriate PRSV key exists, you do not need to check for duplicate PRSV

keys after the installation finishes.

By default, if you upgrade HDLM from version 6.3 or later in Windows Server

2003, the MPIO driver is not upgraded. As a result, the KAPL09281-I message

reports that the MPIO driver will not be overwritten. If you want to repair the

MPIO driver by overwriting it, select the Re-install MPIO driver check box.
