Prerequisites for installing EZPilot

Before installing the EZPilot software, make sure the following conditions

are met:

• You must have the switch IP address, gateway, and subnet mask to

conﬁg

ure it during installation.

• The st

oragesystemmustbeuninitialized. Ifithasbeeninitialized,it

must be uninitialized before installing EZPilot.

• Make sure the switch conﬁguration has not been changed from the

fact

ory default. This includes the default switch password.

• If t

here is any Emulex or Brocade software installed on the server, it

mus

t be removed. If MPIO is installed, it must also be removed.

Step 7. Installing Emulex EZPilot on the

Windows management server

There must be one Windows management server connected to the

EVA4000. The following procedure installs Emulex EZPilot Manager

and HP Command View EVA on the Windows management ser ver.

During installation, the SAN components will be conﬁgured and the

EVA4000 will be initialized. For more information on EZPilot, see the

Emulex EZPilot User Manual.SeeFinding more information.

NOTE:

EZPilot Manager can only be installed on a Windows server.

1. Insert the EZPilot Windows Installation CD into the CD-ROM drive

on the Windows server you will use as the management server.

The server must be running Windows Server 2003 R2. Make sure

the Storage Management for SANs component included in the R2

Windows feature pack is enabled.

2. After the ﬁle is veriﬁed, the EZPilot dialog box appears. Click Next.

3. The Installation Options dialog box opens. Check the HP EVA

Management Server box and click Install.

4. Follow the on screen instructions to install the EZPilot management

software.

Step 8. Installing EZPilot on a Windows

non-management ser ver

You must install the EZPilot drivers and soft ware on all Windows

non-management ser vers connected to the EVA 4000.

1. Insert the EZPilot Windows Installation CD into the CD-ROM drive

on the Windows non-management server. The server must be

running Windows Server 2003 R2.

2. The EZPilot dialog box appears. Click Next.

3. The Installation Options dialog box opens. Click Install.

Make sure you do not check the HP EVA Management Server check

box.

4. Follow the on screen instructions to install the non-management

software.

Repeat the above steps to install EZPilot on all Windows

non-management servers in connected to th e EVA4000.

Step 9. Creating logical drives using

EZPilot Manager

To make the EVA4000 storage available to your servers, you must create

logical drives a nd assign them to the appropriate host. This is done using

EZPilot Manager. For complete information on creating logical drives,

see the Emulex EZPilot User M anual.SeeFinding more information.

NOTE

If there are Linux servers connected to the EVA4000, you

must install the Emulex driver and utilities on them to make

them visible to EZPilot Manager. Before continuing, install

thesecomponentsoneachLinuxserverasdescribedinStep

11. Installing the Emulex driver and utilities on a Linux

non-management server. This will enable y ou to assign logical

drives to your Linux servers.

1. On your Windows management server, click Start.

2. Select All Programs > Emulex > EZPilot Manager Utility

EZPilot Manager launches displaying the Discovery Information

screen.

3. If there are no logical drives on the EVA4000, you will be prompted

to create them. Click OK .

4. Choose the Logical Drive Type you wish to create and assign a size

to the new logical drive. Click Next to create the the logical drive.

5. The EZPilot Logical Drive wizard- Local Drive Host Assignment dialog

box appears. Select the host (and its adapters) to which you want

to assign the logical drive. If "Assign to this host only" is checked,

only the local host and its adapters are displayed in the tree.

Normally a logical drive is assigned to only one host. Click Next.

6. To create additional logical drives, check Create anoth er logical

drive.ClickNext and repeat steps 4 and 5.

When y ou are ﬁnished creating logical drives, uncheck Create

another logical drive and click Finish.

Step 10. Cr ea

ting and managing

Windows disks

After creating logical drives using EZPilot Ma nager, it will be necessary

to use the Windows disk management tools to perform disk-related

tasks, such as creating partitions and volumes, formatting them, an d

assigning driv e letters.

The following provides an overview of the tasks involved in managing

disks. For more information, refer to Windows online help.

1. On each Windows host to which a logical drive has been assigned,

right-click on My Computer and click on Manage.

2. Select Disk Management intheleftpaneoftheComputer

Management window.

3. Using the Windows disk m anagement utility, initialize the n ew disks.

4. Create the desired partitions and volumes on the disk. This includes

assigning a drive letter and formatting to use the NTFS ﬁle system.

5. Repeat step 5 for each new disk.

Step 11. Installing the Emulex d river

and utilities on a Linux non-management

server

Perform this step only if you are connecting Linux servers to the

EVA4000. A Linux non-management server must be running one of

the following Linux versions:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (latest update)

• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (latest service pack)

For complete instructions on in stalling the Emulex drivers and utilities for

Linux, refer to the documentation on the Emulex Linux Installation CD

included in the HP EVA4000 SAN Starter Media kit

ThefollowingisanoverviewofthestepsrequiredtocreateaLinux

non-management server.

1. Ensure a supported version of the Linux operating system is installed

on the server.

2. Update with the Proliant Support Pack (for HP servers).

3. Install the Emulex driver for Linux.

4. Install the Emulex HBAnyware utility to conﬁgure the HBAs with the

correct ﬁrmware/BIOS.

5. Install the Emulex MultiPulse utility on your system to allow for

multipathing in a High Availability (HA) environment.
