Upgrade the host plugin for import on a Windows-based host
Prerequisites
About this task
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:
Setup64.exe /v"MIGSELECTION=1" /s /v/qn /V"/q ADDLOCAL=ALL /L C:\setup.log
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, re-join 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.
Steps
- Download the host plugin package update for the Dell EQL HIT Kit to the host from the Dell EqualLogic support site https://eqlsupport.dell.com.
-
As administrator, run
Setup64.exe for the host plugin.
NOTE: This install upgrades the existing HIT/ME components.
-
As 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.
