HP ProLiant Storage Server Release Notes (January 2006)

Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003

This section describes issues related to Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003.

Issue: The Windows OS version is displayed incorrectly in the update application

Description The Microsoft Windows Server 2003 version listed in the update application

does not reflect the current version.

Workaround Use the winver command at the command prompt to see the current Windows

version.

Issue: When repeatedly copying a file from a Linux client to an HP NAS Server running Windows

Storage Server 2003, the NAS server may stop responding (hang)

Description The server becomes unresponsive because QAFilter.sys causes a deadlock

in the NTFS file system by incorrectly making a blocking call from a completion

routine. This issue occurs if you are using a version of QAFilter.sys that is

earlier than version 5.30.2190.7.

Workaround Contact HP Support to get the following Storage Manager fix updates:

QFE907648 and QFE906194.

Issue: Quotas used

Description If files for user accounts are deleted using the Local Login account, this has the

effect of moving user files to the recycle bin instead of removing them from the

drive. Due to the nature of volume--based quotas (instead of directory-based) this

has the effect of not releasing quota space.

Workaround Delete files from the Recycler and/or remove the recycle bin from the data drives.

Issue: Blue screen condition occurs when using Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP1 with

StorageWorks NAS and Proliant Storage Server products

Description Microsoft has offered Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1). If SP1 is

installed directly without Service Release 5.6 or the system patch provided in the

previous Service Release (SR5.4), a blue screen condition occurs when the HP

NAS server is restarted after the SP1 installation. At that point, the NAS server

no longer operates. The following customer bulletin contains further details and

affected products:

SR5.6 software. To learn more and order the Service Release, go to
