Upgrading QLogic HBA drivers for Hyper-V R2 quick/live migration
Earlier versions of the QLogic HBA driver can prevent Insight Management software from accessing
detailed disk information. This can prevent you from selecting SAN disks as backup storage for virtual
machine logical servers. That can also prevent you from using Hyper-V R2 quick migration or live
migration. To solve the problem, install the QLogic HBA driver 9.1.8.25 (or later) using the following
procedure:
1. Go to
www.hp.com, and click Support & Drivers.
2. Select Download drivers and software (and firmware).
3. Enter the product number for your QLogic HBA.
4. Select the operating system you are using.
5. Download the Storport Driver Component for QLogic FC HBAs and QLogic-based FC
Mezzanine HBAs (9.1.8.25 or later).
