HP StorageWorks EVA VDS and VSS Hardware Providers 5.04.00 for Windows Server 2008 release notes (T1634-96086, November 2009)

NOTE:
Windows Server 2008 Server Core does not run on Itanium servers.
For installation instructions see the HP StorageWorks Hardware Providers for VDS/VSS installation
guide (T1634-96088, October 2009). The guide is included with the installation software package
and provides detailed installation and configuration instructions.
Compatibility/Interoperability
• Only one dedicated Command View workstation is supported within the SAN configuration which
manages VDS/VSS storage resources.
• If the EVA VSS hardware provider and Command View EVA are present on the same server, do
not include the drive letter or mount point where the Command View EVA software is located as
part of a shadow copy volume set. For example, if the EVA VSS hardware provider and Command
View EVA are on drive D, do not include drive D with an EVA LUN in a shadow copy set. Doing
so causes the EVA VSS hardware provider to time out due to conflict with Command View logging
on this drive.
• Mirrorclones are supported with microcode version XCS 6.11 or later.
• Version 5.04.00 of the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array Hardware Providers software
is the last version that will support the HP StorageWorks 3000 EVA Storage System and the HP
StorageWorks 5000 EVA Storage System.
• The hardware providers do not support vdisks created under a folder that is nested within 40 or
more recursively nested folders.
