Upgrade the host plugin for import on a Windows-based host
Prerequisites
Verify that the host is running an applicable version of the Windows operating system. See the
PowerStore
Simple Support Matrix document at
dell.com/powerstoredocs for a list of the supported source systems and operating environments that are applicable to Windows-based hosts. Also, ensure you know the management IP address and associated port number to use for import. This network configuration information must be provided so that the host is added to the
PowerStore cluster for import.
About this task
To upgrade the EQL HIT Kit host plugin for Windows, do the following:
NOTE:By default, the upgrade runs interactively. To run the upgrade of the EQL HIT Kit in the background, enter the following command after downloading the host plugin update package to the host:
NOTE:To avoid application disruption when running the installation on a Windows Cluster, Hyper-V clusters for example, move the host out of the cluster (maintenance mode) before installing the host plugin. After installing the host plugin and rebooting, rejoin the host to the cluster. The virtual machines running on the host should be moved out and moved back after the installation is complete. To avoid multiple reboots, the ImportKit or Dell EqualLogic HIT kit install can be planned and combined with any other operating system reboot task.
As an administrator, run
Setup64.exe for the host plugin.
NOTE: This install upgrades the existing HIT/ME components.
As an administrator, run the install wizard for the host plugin again.
Select the
Modify option on the
Program Maintenance page that appears after you accept the Dell EULA.
NOTE:Ensure the
Host Integration Tools installation (with import capability) option is selected on the
Installation Type Selection page. If the Dell EQL HIT Kit is installed with import capability, adding or removing additional components to an already installed Dell EQL HIT Kit version is not supported.
Reboot the host.
A reboot of the host is required to complete the installation.
