• After all HDLM components have been installed on a host, if you want to
create a configuration that uses only the HDLM Core components, you
cannot do so by performing an upgrade installation or re-installation. To
re-configure HDLM with only the HDLM Core components, first uninstall
HDLM, and then perform an unattended new installation of HDLM.
• If you want to link HDLM to other Hitachi Command Suite products, you
need to install all the HDLM components, not just the HDLM Core
components.
• In Windows Server 2003 SP1 or later, if you change an HDLM
management-target device during an upgrade installation and then
restart the host, the KAPL08019-E and KAPL08022-E messages might be
output, and the path status might change to Offline(E) or Online(E). If
this happens, execute the dlnkmgr command's online operation to
change the path status to Online.

Notes on Migration or Upgrade Installation

If either of the following conditions is met, the disk numbers managed by
Windows might be changed from the state they were in prior to a migration
installation or upgrade installation:
• The disk numbers managed by Windows are non-consecutive and an
HDLM version earlier than 5.4 is migrated to 5.5 or later
• Hitachi's RAID Manager command device is used and an HDLM version
earlier than 5.7 is migrated or upgraded to 5.7.1 or later
If a disk number is changed while the disk is being used by an application,
perform the following:
If the disk number can be changed:
Change the disk number to the number that will be used after the
change.
If the disk number cannot be changed:
Restore the disk number managed by Windows to the number that was in
use prior to the migration installation or upgrade installation. For details
about how to do this, contact Microsoft.
