HSV100 Drivers?

Paul.S.Hedges — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 04:57:02 GMT

On our SMA under 'Other Devices' in Device Manager the HSV100 controllers are showing up as 'HP HSV100 SCSI Unknown Devices' - my question being is this correct or should they have drivers installed for the OS.

I am assuming that this is fine as the OS does not manage these controllers as this is done by Command View and SSSU.

If this really is a Storage Management Appliance hardware, I would simply ignore it. There is on real device driver required. On a "General Purpose Server", you only need the correct .INF file which is included in the adapter driver's "Smart Component" software kit.

You could effectively... reference that inf file though if you place it onto the SMA, just DON'T install the latest emulex drivers. You may have nightmares afterwards.

This way, you can get rid of those "other devices" entries to make it look "clean".
