HP MPIO Full Featured DSM for P6x00/EVA4x00/6x00/8x00 families of disk arrays

requirement

HP strongly recommends to always install the latest version of HP MPIO Full Featured DSM on all

Windows servers. The available Windows MPIO DSM has exhibited LUN path failures on rare

occasions. These LUN path failures were not observed with HP MPIO Full Featured DSM for the

P6x00 family of disk arrays version 4.03.00 or later revisions.

NOTE: If using HP P6000 SmartStart to install HP P6000 Command View on the Microsoft

Windows 2003, 2008, or 2012 management server, HP MPIO Full Featured DSM for P6x00

4.02.00 and DSM Manager are installed automatically. HP MPIO Full Featured DSM version

4.03.00 is supported for use with Microsoft Windows 2003 and 2008 iSCSI and FCoE initiators,

but is not required.

The latest DSM Manager and HP MPIO P6000 DSM can be downloaded from the following HP

website http://www.hp.com/support/downloads as follows:

1. Under Storage, select Storage Software.

2. Under Storage Infrastructure Software, select Other Multi-Path Software-Windows.

3. Select Windows MPIO DSM for EVA.

4. Select the appropriate Windows operating system, and then do one of the following:

• For MPIO DSM, select HP MPIO Full Featured DSM for P6x00 EVA Disk Arrays.

• For DSM Manager, select HP MPIO DSM (Device Specific Module) Manager for Full

Featured DSMs.

See the release notes included with the download file for more information.

Microsoft Windows 2003 server requires hotfix

If the management server is running Microsoft Windows 2003, HP P6000 Command View might

not display any array. To resolve this issue, install a Microsoft hotfix. Go to the following link for

details and the hotfix download: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945119.

IMPORTANT: If using the server for storage only, not as a management server, it is not essential

to install this hotfix.
