If you download the wrong version, it will not install. The simplest way of ensuring you download the
correct version is to run the Installation wizard from the HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System CD-ROM
because it automatically checks which is the appropriate version for your host.
NOTE:
The Microsoft Vista operating system includes the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator. It can be run from the
Control Panel in Classic Mode.

Manual iSCSI initiator installation

The Installation wizard could fail for the following reasons:
• The host machine does not have an internet connection
• Firewall restrictions prevent this process
• Microsoft has relocated the iSCSI initiator files to a different address on its website.
• The process times out due to a slow connection
• The maximum number of drives/libraries have been configured on the HP D2D
If the process fails:
1.
On a machine that supports an external internet connection, go to the Microsoft website and
search on "iSCSI initiator"
2. Select the result that takes you to the Download page and choose the download that is appropriate
for your host.
3. Download the iSCSI initiator and install it on the host, accepting all the default settings.
