HP MPIO DSM for XP Array Software and MS Cluster

[David Chamizo]

when I open Disk Manager on the passive node of a Windows 2003 SP1 cluster, the status of the disks are uninitialized. I expected to see “unreadable” on the disks managed by the cluster on the passive node. Cluster operations such as move group, failover, and failback all work properly. The disk initialization wizard only pops up on the passive node when opening disk manager. This happens on both nodes when they are passive. Has anyone seen this before? Are there any required MS patches required for this software? The version of MPIO I'm running is 2.00.01.
