The installation and configuration wizards automatically verify many of the prerequisites as part of the wizard verification process. However, some prerequisites cannot be automatically verified.
The host bus adapter (HBA) or multipath I/O (MPIO) software that is required for your VSS provider are examples of prerequisites that cannot be automatically verified. As a result, ensure that your system meets the minimum hardware, software, and operating system requirements before you install Tivoli® Storage FlashCopy® Manager for Windows.
For the most current requirements, review the Hardware and Software Requirements technote that is associated with the level of your Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager. This technote is available in the Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager - All Requirement Documents website at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21427692. When you are at the website, follow the link to the requirements technote for your specific release or update level.
