Adding or removing product options
Prev	Administering SFW or SFW HA installation	Next

After installing SFW or SFW HA, you may need to add or remove the product options.

Note the following points before you begin to add or remove the product options:

You cannot add or remove the product options on a system that runs Server Core operating system. To add or remove the product options on these systems you must uninstall the product and then install it again using the new licenses.
You can add or remove the product options on the local system only.
You can add or remove the product options only if you have installed the server components.

Before you choose to add any product option, ensure that you have reviewed and performed the required pre-installation and planning tasks, if any, for the option you want to install.

If you are adding the DMP DSMs to an existing SFW HA or Windows Server Failover Cluster, ensure that you move the resources to another node or take the resource offline, install the required hardware drivers and then perform the following steps.

To add or remove features

Open the Windows Control Panel and click Programs and Features.
Select the option for the Veritas Storage Foundation.
For example, for SFW HA select Veritas Storage Foundation HA 6.1 for Windows and click Change.
On the Mode Selection panel, select Add or Remove and then click Next.

On the System Selection panel, the wizard performs the verification checks and displays the applicable installation and product options. In case the verification checks have failed, review the details and rectify the issue. Before you choose to proceed with the installation, click Re-verify to re-initiate the verification checks.

Note that the wizard proceeds only if the system passes the validation checks.

To add or remove the options, select or clear the product option check boxes to add or remove the respective component.

Note:

You can add or remove the features only if you have selected User entered license key as your license type. Only the options included in your product license, will be enabled for selection. To select any other option, you must first enter the required license details.

For details on managing your licenses, See Managing SFW or SFW HA licenses.

On the System Selection panel, click Next.
The wizard performs the verification checks and proceeds to the Pre-install Summary panel.

Note that the wizard proceeds only if the system passes the validation checks.
On the Pre-install Summary panel, review the summary and click Next.
Note that the Automatically reboot systems after installer completes operation check box is selected by default. This will reboot all the selected remote systems immediately after the installation is complete on the respective system. If you do not want the wizard to initiate this auto reboot, clear the selection of Automatically reboot systems after installer completes operation check box.
On the Installation panel, review the progress of installation and click Next after the installation is complete.
If an installation is not successful, the status screen shows a failed installation. Refer to the Post-install summary for more details. Rectify the issue and then proceed to re-install the component.
On the Post-install Summary panel, review the installation result and click Next.
If the installation has failed, refer to the log file for details.
On the Finish panel, click Finish.
If you had chosen to initiate the auto reboot, a confirmation message to reboot the local system appears. Click Yes to reboot immediately or No to reboot later.

In case you had not selected to initiate the auto reboot, ensure that you manually reboot these systems.

For adding the DMP DSMs, if you had disconnected all but one path, you must reconnect the additional physical path now.

You can now proceed to configure the service groups for the newly added options.
