Installing the VSA
The installer for the VSA for Hyper-V includes a wizard that guides you through configuring the virtual
machine on the network, configuring virtual or physical hard drives, and powering on the VSA. Table
4 on page 18 describes the information required for completing the installation wizard.
After finishing the installation, install the CMC and find the VSAs as storage systems in the CMC. You
can then set up the clustered storage for the SAN, as described in Chapter 4.
NOTE:
One or more Microsoft hotfixes may be required on your system before you can install the VSA for
Hyper-V. If this is the case, before the installer actually begins, a window opens that notifies you of
the required hotfixes and provides links to the appropriate site to download the hotfix.
