Verifying installation

To verify installation, perform the following tests. If you have any trouble with installation or with verifying
installation, see Chapter 4 "Troubleshooting" in this guide.

Checking visibility of the disk array

If you configured the disk array and server properly, the array LUNs should be visible in the Disk
Management window on the VDS server. Click the Windows Start menu, click Administrative Tools, click
Computer Management and click Disk Management. You should see the array LUNs listed.

Checking the list of programs in Windows

A simple way to verify successful installation of the HP VDS Provider is to make sure it is listed in the
Add/Remove Programs Control Panel in Windows. To see the list of installed programs, click Windows
Start, click Settings, click Control Panel, and double-click Add/Remove Programs. Verify the HP MSA
VDS Hardware Provider appears in the list of installed programs.

Checking VDS disk management using DiskRaid

The Microsoft DiskRaid command line interface uses the HP VDS Provider in order to perform certain
tasks on the HP disk array. You can install and run DiskRaid and use the "list provider" and "list
subsystem" commands to verify the HP VDS Provider is working. The example output below shows
the use of these commands:
