3.5.4 Upgrade installation or re-installation of HDLM

You can perform an upgrade installation for HDLM 5.5 or later only. To migrate HDLM 5.4 or earlier to version 5.5 or later, see 3.5.5 Migrating from HDLM 5.4 or earlier to HDLM 5.5 or later.

The procedure for an upgrade installation or re-installation is the same as for a new installation of HDLM, except for the following steps:

Executing the dlmchkpath utility for checking HDLM paths.
The dlmchkpath utility is executed automatically when the installation program (setup.exe) starts. The dlmchkpath utility checks whether the system is in a single-path configuration. If a warning dialog box appears, reconfigure the system into a single-path configuration, and then perform the upgrade installation or re-installation again. Note, however, that when an unattended installation is used and the system is determined to be in a multi-path configuration, an HDLM upgrade installation or re-installation will end without displaying any warning dialog boxes.
For details about the dlmchkpath utility, see 8.5 dlmchkpath (utility for checking HDLM paths).

Entering the license key
The window displays the type and expiration date of the license key, which were entered when HDLM was installed for the first time. If the license key has expired, the procedure is the same as for a new installation.

Entering user information and specifying the installation folder.
This step is omitted.

Creating and checking the PRSV key
This step is omitted if an appropriate PRSV key exists. In such a case, it is also unnecessary to check for duplicate PRSV keys after the installation finishes.

Upgrade installation or re-installation from HDLM 5.7 or later

Selecting an HDLM management-target device
The default of the HDLM management-target device is the same as that before the upgrade installation or re-installation. For example, if you select EMC Symmetrix DMX Series, CLARiiON CX Series when you install HDLM, EMC Symmetrix DMX Series, CLARiiON CX Series is already selected when it appears in the dialog box.
