Remove all systems from ESI.
Delete the following settings file:
<system drive>:\Users\<user
name>\AppData\Local\EMC\ESI\EMC Storage Integrator.settings
Locate and double-click the latest version of ESI.3.*.Setup.X64.exe.
In the InstallShield Wizard, click Next.
When the EMC Software License Agreement appears, accept the license agreement and click Next.
In the Prerequisites window, confirm that your system meets the prerequisites and click Next.
In the Setup window, confirm or change the options to be installed and click Next.

Description |
|
Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service (AD LDS) |
Recommended option: |
|
Active Directory |
Uses Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to persist connection settings. |
|
Local Server |
Persists connection settings locally (same as ESI 3.1). For example, MMC and PowerShell use the user appdata and ESI Service uses SQLCE to persist settings locally. |
If you are not installing the ESI Exchange HA Extension, skip to the next step.
If you are installing the extension, when prompted, enter a username and password for the Login Credential for HA Extension Service and click Next.
Note: You must use the same username and password for each extension installed on each Exchange mailbox server.
In the Ready to Install the Program window, click Install.
Click Finish.
Note: The ESI installer attempts to add a firewall exception rule to enable Remote Volume Management on the host where ESI is being installed. The installer also attempts to enable PS Remoting on the same host. If the installer encounters a problem during these steps, you need to perform these steps manually after the installation is complete.
