Win2k3 upgrade to Win2k8 R2 (2 node cluster)

[Timjade]

Hi there,
Can you please help me.

I am about to UPGRADE (in place) a Windows 2003 x64 2 node cluster to Win2k8 R2 2 node cluster.

I am concerned about MPIO drivers and HP networking drivers.

Servers are BL680c G5 blades.
SANs are EVA6110 and a P2000FC G3

Can someone please give me any tips?
I have thought about removing NIC teaming before the upgrade to .

I would also like to source the FFDSM's for the P2000fc G3 and EVA6110 SANs for Win2k8 R2? Can someone help me there?

Or....do I not not need the DSM's for Win2k8R2? Do I just use MS MPIO?

Hi!

It looks like it's only the MPIO manager on the download page:

The MPIO is part of Windows 2008.
