PowerPath Checklist — Existing Linux Server and Existing Storage System

This checklist assumes that the existing Linux server and existing storage system are already connected in a SAN or direct attach configuration. Complete the tasks highlighted with grey in the checklist before the service provider arrives.

The Without Access Logix column does not apply to CX300, CX500, and

CX700 storage systems because they ship from the factory with the Access

Logix enabler installed.
