HP ProLiant Storage Server SAN Connection and Management

The above table shows the latest driver/firmware/Boot Bios for the supported FC HBAs. Check the HP

web site

http://www.hp.com for updates.

Note: Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 and Windows 2003 32-bit are identical for the purpose of this

compatibility table.

Contact HP Service and Support for the following reasons:

- To get the latest driver version, firmware, or BOOT BIOS for your HBA drivers.

- If your HBA PCI cards are not listed in the table above.

If you update the HBA driver version, firmware, or BOOT BIOS, reboot the system after the update before

you continue.

STEP 2: Verify that the firmware version for the XP array is installed.

XP 128/1024 Firmware Revision: 21.12.02.00/00

XP 12000 Firmware Revision: 50.04.31.00/00

Contact HP Service and Support to get the latest firmware version for your storage array. If you update the

firmware, reboot the system after the update before you continue.

STEP 3: Install the multipath software (SecurePath or HP MPIO DSM).

HP SecurePath version: v4.0C SP1

V4.0C SP2-1

HP MPIO version: Full Featured DSM for Windows for XP v1.00.01

Windows with XP storage requires the installation of HP StorageWorks multipathing software on each

host to achieve high-availability, multiple-path capability.

To obtain HP StorageWorks SecurePath:

Reboot the system after you install the software before you continue.

HP MPIO users can install the software located at

http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/sanworks/multipathoptions/index.html

IMPORTANT: Review MPIO documentation (readme, installation instructions). Review important

information pertaining to the HP MPIO DSM (prerequisites, system requirements, important notes and

considerations) before you begin the installation process. For all XP storage arrays, you must install

MultiPath Input/Output (MPIO) software. Currently, two software MPIOs are supported for these storage

arrays: HP StorageWorks SecurePath and HP MPIO DSM.

STEP 4: Connect the appropriate fiber cables to the HBA card(s).

STEP 5: Install SecurePath Manager (optional).

If you use SecurePath, and want to install SecurePath Manager, see Section 6
