MA8000 and windows 2003

[Jerry Short]

Is there any support for windows 2003 on the ema12000 or ma8000?

Hi Jerry,

yes there is. You will need up-to-date HBA Firmware & Drivers, ACS Version (8.7), Platform Kit (8.7B) and SecurePath (4.0C)
You must be running in Multibus Failover mode. Transparent Failover is not supported under Windows 2003.
Have a look at the Release Notes for the Platform Kit:
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/storageworks/techdoc/acs/AA-RH0QM-TE.pdf
That has a lot of info on supported hardware and software.
The Platform Kit itself is free to download:
