48 HSG80 Enterprise Modular Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel Solution Software V8.8 for
Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) Release Notes
■ To delete the 8 MB EISA-type partition on new disk drives, as discussed in
the “Disk Device Support” on page 30, create a unit and delete the partition in
Disk Administrator.
Windows 2000 Specific Notes
■ New Universal Disk Drives (or units that are migrated from SmartArray
controllers usage) being configured into storageset members need to be
initially written to with DILX (a diagnostic utility on the HSG storage
systems). DILX only operates on units. Therefore, the new disks must be
configured into a unit prior to running DILX. Optionally, the HSUTIL format
disk utility may be used on a disk device.
■ The Fibre Channel Setup utility installs HS_Service and HsxDisk software
components. These are similar to HS_Service and HszDisk in the Windows
NT setup procedure.
■ There are two situations in which drive-letter remapping might occur and that
could affect access to data by programs you may need to run. The first
situation is one in which you replace one server with another. The second is a
situation in which you simply replace an FC HBA in one of your systems.
During such a system or adapter changeover, be sure to manually remap
drives to drive letters using Disk Manager. This restores proper access to your
data.
■ If you replace an FC HBA in a server, you need to reinstall the HBA driver
and then rerun the Fibre Channel Setup utility. This is so that Windows 2000
can automatically reload the original driver for this adapter and reset many of
the important registry settings. New connections are created on the HSG
controller. Those connections should be renamed and assigned to the
appropriate units.
For more information about installing the adapter, see the HP StorageWorks
HSG80 ACS Solution Software Installation and Configuration Guide and use
the software on the Solution Software CD-ROM.
