Download the Windows Toolkit

To download the NWT, you must have an Internet connection from the Windows host or client to the HPE Nimble Storage InfoSight.
IMPORTANT: HPE Nimble Storage Setup Manager (NSM) is only required for array setup.
What you need on a Windows server:
  • Internet connection to HPE Nimble Storage InfoSight
  • .NET Framework 4.5.2

What you need on a Windows client:

  • Internet connection to HPE Nimble Storage InfoSight
  • Windows OS 7 or later
  • .NET Framework 4.5.2

Download the latest version of the HPE Nimble Storage Windows Toolkit (NWT) to install on your Windows host or Windows VM.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the version of NWT is compatible with the version of NimbleOS on your array. For example, NWT 4.x requires NimbleOS 4.1 or later. For compatibility information, see the Validated Configuration Matrix tool, which is available on HPE Nimble Storage InfoSight (https://infosight.hpe.com/resources/nimble/validated-configuration-matrix).

Hotfix requirements are mandatory for any Windows host in which the HPE Nimble Storage Connection Manager is used to connect to HPE Nimble Storage volumes.
