107HSG80 ACS Solution Software V8.8 for Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Server
2003 (32-bit) Installation and Configuration Guide
In order for Windows NT/Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) to
recognize new Enterprise Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel subsystem devices
or changes to existing configurations, you must restart your system.
Initial Setup Settings
Windows NT/Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) Settings
Your new storage system components must be initially configured using a serial
cable connection to the HSG80 array controllers. You may change one or more of
the following settings: SCSI-2 or SCSI-3 mode, CCL enabled or disabled,
transparent or multiple-bus failover mode, and arbitrated loop or fabric mode.
The controllers are preset with the following settings:
■ SCSI-2 mode
■ CCL enabled
■ Transparent Failover mode
■ Arbitrated Loop mode (fixed addresses)
For Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 (32-bit), you can
use either SCSI-2 or SCSI-3 mode with the ACS 8.8 version of HSG80 controller
software. However, to use your storage system in a heterogeneous system
environment, you may need to use a specific SCSI mode depending on what is
required for the other, connected operating systems. Also, for Windows NT
4.0/Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003 (32-bit), if you use the preset SCSI-2
mode, then you must change CCL to the disabled state.
You will need to use serial for your initial set up to define how your server and
storage system interact. The HSG80 controller comes shipped with a setting of
SCSI-2 and CCL enabled. This means the storage controller can communicate
using SCSI-2 protocols and its Command Console LUN feature is enabled. With
ACS V8.8, SCSI-3 protocol is also supported. If you choose to use SCSI-3, then
CCL is permanently enabled. The choices you have for Windows NT are to use
either SCSI-3 with CCL permanently enabled, or SCSI-2 with CCL disabled.
Note: StorageWorks recommends that customers use SCSI-3. If you choose SCSI-2 with
CCL enabled, you will get Disk Administrator errors. Therefore, at initial set up, you will
need to either: leave the controller set to SCSI-2 protocol but disable CCL, or set the
controller to SCSI-3 protocol.
