Does someone have the exact steps regarding the installation of PP/VE?
I would like to install PP/VE with temporary licenses on a new ESX host.
Does someone has the exact steps of the installation and which is best or recommended procedure of the PP/VE installation?
Via update manager? Using vapp? via CLI?
Thank you in advance

Hi,
The exact installation/licensing steps are described in PPVE Installation and Administration Guide - you can find this document here:
https://support.emc.com/products/1800_PowerPath-VE-for-VMware/Documentation/
I don't think there is any best way of installing PowerPath - as per documentation, the "recommended" way is via the Update Manager, but I personally always found the CLI method faster and less complicated, so it's really up to you :-)
Hope that helps - let me know if anything is unclear!
Thank you,
Pawel

Hi,
All the installation and licensing steps are in the Install Guide, to my best knowledge there is no separate document for this.
Install Guide is pretty comprehensive (long) - but it's divided into sections and each of them is dedicated to selected installation and licensing method, so it should be very easy to follow - every step is explained in details, with examples.
Give it a go
Cheers,
Pawel

Hi Pawel,
thank you so much for your quick reply.
So in the installation guide if i will follow the steps i would be able to install the PPVE?
You don't have any document/guide with the specific/exact steps?
