Hello,

it´s the first time for me to work with PowerPath. I'm a bit awkward.

Our environment:

VMware vCenter 6.5

Storage two VNX5400 and a EMC VPLEX Metro.

PowerPath Version 6.3

We have some Windows 2008 and 2012 Server - both versions run in seperat Clusters - everything works fine.

The installation was done before my time.

Now we need a new Windows 2016 Cluster. I have installed the OS and i see the presented RAW-LUNs from the VPLEX. My problem is that the validation test from microsoft has problems with the LUNs.

My question is:

Do i have to install a additional Software (PowerPath) on the Windows Server that PowerPath works correct? Because in this document (https://www.emc.com/collateral/TechnicalDocument/docu89663.pdf) the speak about PowerPath installer for Windows. Or is this only for installations on Hardware?

Thank you...
