NOTE:

* Host server must have a minimum of 256MB of RAM when booting from this CD.

***IMPORTANT NOTES and SERVICE CONSIDERATIONS***

* If you are upgrading an existing MSA1000 installation to the newest driver and

firmware, DO NOT USE THE INSTRUCTION IN THIS KIT! Visit the MSA1000

web site at http://www.hp.com/go/msa1000 and refer to the document 'Upgrading the

MSA1000 for Enhanced Features' for up to date upgrade steps and potential issues that

may be encountered.

* MSA1000 path redundancy requires two isolated fibre channel fabrics and

associated hardware/software for correct operation. This includes Fibre Channel array

controllers, fibre bay modules, fibre channel hubs/switches, fibre channel host bus

adapters, and StorageWorks Secure Path software. The MSA1000 does not support path

redundancy using a single fibre channel host adapter or single fibre channel array

controller. A single fibre channel switch is supported if zoned properly, but not

recommended because it can be a single point of failure.

* When installing or updating Fibre Channel HBA drivers in a Microsoft Windows

environment, it is important that you always use the driver installation utility from the

MSA1000 support software CD or from the MSA1000 web site at

http://www.hp.com/go/msa1000. HP does not recommend using the device manager

'upgrade driver' option. Your MSA1000 will not perform as intended if the driver is

upgraded manually. Further, drivers downloaded from Emulex.com are not supported

with the MSA1000. Although they may work, they are not tested and qualified with

the MSA1000 and its associated configuration and management utilities. A copy of the

MSA1000 software support CD can be downloaded from

http://www.hp.com/go/msa1000.
