XCP SMB Initial Setup Procedure

Follow these steps to perform the initial setup of XCP SMB.

Steps

  1. Download the license and the XCP SMB binary NETAPP_XCP_<version>.tgz on a Windows client.

  2. Extract the NETAPP_XCP_<version>.tgz file.

  3. Copy the xcp.exe file to your Windows C: drive, this binary is available inside NETAPP_XCP_<version>\xcp\windows after you extract the tgz file.

  4. Verify that the C:\NetApp\XCP path is available on the system from a previous version of XCP.
    If C:\NetApp\XCP is available, activate XCP by using the xcp.exe activate command and proceed with data migration.

    If C:\NetApp\XCP is not available, the system creates the XCP host configuration directory and files it at C:\NetApp\XCP when you run the xcp.exe activate command for the first time. The xcp.exe activate command fails and creates an error message asking for a new license.

    C:\>xcp.exe activate
(c) yyyy NetApp, Inc.

License file C:\NetApp\XCP\license not found.
