Re: HP MPIO for EVA5000 & Windows 2008 64-bit
Before you do that, please check if your EVA5000 really does run VCS4.x firmware as this is the MPIO for active/active EVA firmware.

Re: HP MPIO for EVA5000 & Windows 2008 64-bit
I have just checked the latest compatibility table and Windows 2008 is not listed, yet.
I guess that Windows 2008 requires a new MPIO framework, so the installer actively refuses an install.

Re: HP MPIO for EVA5000 & Windows 2008 64-bit
If you look at my first message (on top of this page) you will see, that you link = my link. It's bad answer.

P.S. I think that Windows Server 2008 allready have support MultiPath I/O (MPIO) without additional software.

it lists the multipathing software for all the versions and flavours of Windows.... however the release notes don't talk about 2008....
