Windows Configuration

For Windows platforms, you must use driver version of 2.06 or later with the

D8602A/B FC HBA. You must manually configure the driver to initialize with

the switch using N_port instead of NL_port. Configure this through a registry

setting which is described in the readme file provided with the HBA driver.

Windows 2000 Removable Storage Manager

The Windows 2000 Removable Storage Manager services running on one

host may interfere with backups running on other hosts in the SAN. This can

result in backup or restore failures.

To eliminate this problem, disable the Removable Storage Manager service on

all Window 2000 systems attached to a backup SAN.

To do this:

1. Right click on the

[My Computer] icon and select [Manage].
