SecutePath X Windows 2003

[Felicio Guimaraes dos S]

Did current SecurePath version (4.0A) was integrated with MultiPath I/O API from Microsoft ? What??s expected release date of 4.0B version and what is the improvements/changes planned ? Is any precaution on installing a four node Windows 2003 Enterprise on ACS8.7.1 ? Is multibus now working in Windows 2003 Cluster or only failover still available ?

PS: My english is under construction...

I was at Microsoft TechED last week and talked to the HP reps about Server 2003 and Secure Path. Secure Path 4.0A and 4.0B do not support the 2003 MPIO driver model. Nor do their approved Emulex drivers support the STORPORT driver model.

In a few weeks (6 - 8?) HP should be releasing MPIO Secure Path and STORPORT Emulex HBA drivers.

I was hoping HP would have the products out sooner, but we will have to wait.
