PowerPath Checklist
— New
Windows Server and Existing Storage
System With Boot Disk
This checklist is for an existing storage system that will contain a
Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 boot disk. If you do not want
the existing storage system to contain a boot disk, use the procedure
that starts on 7-14.
CAUTION
!
The RAID Group containing the boot LUN
must consist of Fibre
Channel disks (not ATA disks).
Tasks highlighted with grey in the checklist should be completed
before the service provider arrives.
The Without Access Logix column does not apply to CX300, CX500, CX500i,
and CX700 storage systems because they ship from the factory with the
Access Logix enabler installed.
