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.
