47HSG80 Enterprise Modular Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel Solution Software V8.8 for
Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) Release Notes
Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows
Server 2003 (32-bit) Notes
■ Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) can run
MSCS software. See documents that come with Microsoft's software kits for
instructions on setting up Microsoft clusters.
■ There is no Hot Plug support for FC HBAs under Windows NT 4.0, Windows
2000, and Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) at this time. Check the HP Support
web site for updates.
■ Windows NT and Windows 2000 support SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 modes. See the
HP StorageWorks HSG80 ACS Solution Software Installation and
Configuration Guide that comes with this kit for more information.
■ HP recommends that you load software directly from the Solution Software
CD-ROM when installing drivers and running the Fibre Channel Setup utility.
You may experience problems on some systems if you first copy the
CD-ROM contents to a disk drive and then install from there.
■ Windows 2000 dynamic volumes are supported in transparent failover
configurations or in Secure Path V4.0x multi-bus configurations.
■ Cloning a Windows 2000 dynamic disk is allowed. However, either the Clone
or the original can be mounted to the same host but not both.
Windows NT Specific Notes
■ Fibre Channel software setup handles HszDisk and HS_Service installation.
This is sometimes referred to as HSZinstall in the documentation.
Note: Do not use the Large LUN model with Windows NT Service Pack 5 under any
circumstances. Windows NT Service Pack 6A is the stated minimum for this Solution
Software.
■ In a situation where you are replacing a server with another and using the
existing drives (storagesets) behind the array controllers, you may find drive
to drive letter mapping changes. During such a system changeover, remap
drives to drive letters using the Disk Administrator to restore proper access to
your data.
