Stop any processes or application services, such as a DBMS, that are using the

HDLM management-target paths.
In Windows Server 2008, if you are not logged on as an administrator, use the

Run as administrator functionality.

3.

Stop MSCS or VCS on all the hosts that make up the cluster.
When MSCS is used, follow the procedure described below.
Choose Administrative Tools and then Services. In the list of services,

right-click Cluster Service, and then from the Action menu choose Stop to stop

the service.
A message prompting you to restart the system might be displayed. If this

happens, choose No.

4.

If a host and a storage system are connected via multiple paths, reconfigure it so

that only one path connects the host to the storage system.
Uninstalling HDLM in a multi-path configuration, might cause the disk contents

to become corrupted when the host restarts. Make sure that you uninstall HDLM

from a single path configuration only.
Figure 3-7: Single Path Configuration and Multi-path Configuration shows a

single path configuration and a multi-path configuration.
