HP StorageWorks Hardware Providers for VDS/VSS installation guide (T1634-96096, April 2010)

2. Download and extract the HP EVA hardware providers files from the HP VDS/VSS web page:
http://www.hp.com/support/HWPEVA
The installer executables are provided in a self-extracting file with the name
HP_StorageWorks_VDS_VSS_Hardware_Provider_for_EVA_version.exe. This file
contains the executable files hpevavdsprv_xxx.exe and hpevavssprv_xxx.exe.
NOTE:
• There is only one self extracting file for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server
2008 R2 because the installer executables (hpevavdsprv_xxx.exe and
hpevavssprv_xxx.exe) are common.
• For Windows Server 2008, the installer executable will automatically upgrade previous
installations of the hardware provider software to the latest version.
• For Windows Server 2008 R2, you must manually remove the previous version (v6.04.00)
of the hardware provider software before installing the latest version.
3. In the Windows Server GUI, double-click the HP EVA hardware providers installation executable:
hpevavdsprv_xxx.exe or hpevavssprv_xxx.exe. The xxx in the file name represents the
Windows operating system version. Be sure to open the file that matches your operating system.
NOTE:
On Windows Server 2008 Server Core, change to the location where you extracted the hardware
provider files, and enter the name of the executable. For example, for the VDS provider, enter
hpevavdsprv_x86.exe.
The InstallShield Welcome window opens.
4. Click Next. The License Agreement window opens.
If this is a new installation, continue to Step 5.
5. Click Next to continue the installation. The Customer Information window opens.
