NAS B3000 & upgrade to Win 2003

Hi

We currently have a NAS B3000 running "Windows Powered 2000 Server" which I assume is the special version that HP sell you for the storage box.

We want to rebuild the box to Windows 2003.

Do we have to buy the special version of 2003 or will normal Windows 2003 be ok???

BEen trying to find some info on HP's website without much joy.

Thanks

Simon,

If you have the HP StorageWorks NAS b3000 v2 on the ProLiant DL380 G3 platform, then there's an upgrade path to Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 (link below).

If you have the StorageWorks NAS B3000 on ProLiant DL380 G2 platform, there's no upgrade path to WSS 2003.
