HDLM Installation Types

This subsection describes the following types of HDLM installation: new
installation, upgrade installation, and re-installation.
New installation of HDLM:
Installing HDLM on a server on which HDLM has not been installed is
called a new installation of HDLM.
Re-installation of HDLM:
A re-installation of HDLM involves installing the same version of HDLM
again to repair an existing installation. You must uninstall HDML before
re-installing it.
Notes on Creating an HDLM Environment
This section provides notes on creating an HDLM environment.
• Make sure that all HBAs that are on a single host and connected to HDLM-
managed disks are of the same type and have the same microprogram
version. If you are using more than one type of HBA, paths will not be
able to be switched when an error occurs.
• If the Windows version of HDLM is already installed on the machine that is
to serve as the remote management client, uninstall it before proceeding.
The VMware and Windows versions of HDLM cannot coexist on the same
remote management client.
• If you install HDLM for the first time, a license key is necessary. The
expiration date of the license key is determined by the license key
specified in the license key file or the input license key type. For
