Powerpath 5.7 windows 2012

However, if you still chose to use PowerPath, the minimal version needed will be PowerPath 5. The first step is the installation of the MPIO feature. On the confirmation page, you can select to automatically reboot the server, but this feature does not require a reboot. Click on this icon to launch the configuration page. The top box will show those devices that support ALUA failover. If you do not see any devices, it may be necessary to launch a PowerShell or command prompt and run a manual claim command.

Either of these MUST be an administrative level executions. If this command does not produce any results, then the server is not seeing the storage system or it is unsupported.

Once the server has completed rebooting, log into the system either launch Server or Computer Manager and examine the disk. At this point, you should see only one drive per LUN presented to the server. However, if you see two sets of disk, a series of those online and those offline. This specific device applies to EMC storage and is typically due to the host not being in a storage group. However, in my case, the devices were in the correct storage group. So, add the second device and allow the server to reboot.

Once the second reboot is complete, examine the disk configuration. In PowerShell this can be checked by using -gt 6. ProductVersion Following is the screenshot showing the outputs in case of a successful upgrade wherein all the drivers have been upgraded to 6. ProductVersion 5. ProductVersion 6. This can be validated manually by checking the setupapi. Go to the bottom of the file and search for!!!. You can note the Access is denied. ProductVersion Step 5.

This would lead to a crash. So we replace the correct 6. Run the vicfg-vswitch -l command to display a list of vSwitches on the host, and check that the configuration of the vSwitch is correct. Run the vicfg-vmknic -l command to display a list of VMkernel interfaces and check that the configuration of the Jumbo Frame-enabled interface is correct. Configure all physical switches and any physical or virtual machines to which this VMkernel interface connects to support Jumbo Frames.

Click the Configuration tab and click Networking. Connect additional network adapters to the vSwitch. Select one or more NICs from the list and click Next.

Review the information on the Adapter Summary page, and click Finish. The list of network adapters reappears, showing the network adapters that the vSwitch now claims. Select VMkernel and click Next. Specify the IP settings and click Next.
