HP StorageWorks Hardware Providers for VDS/VSS Installation Guide

1. Before you start installation, use the ping command to test communication with the Command
View EVA server.
2. Download and extract the HP P6000 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_P6000_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.
