Firmware V86F-1 compatable with Platform Kit ACS 8.7?

[Lawrence Bowen]

Hi all,

A colleague has built a W2K server (SP4), on which he 1st installed Secure Path, and then the ACS 8.7 Platform Kit. The server is connected to a SAN with HSG80s with V86F-1 firmware.

The problem is that the HS_Service does not start! Event log reports:
Error when opening the \DosDevice\hszDiskService. Reason: %1

So, has anyone seen this? Is it because of a compatability issue with firmware and ACS Platform Kit?

thanks - lawrence bowen

Ok, resolved this one myself....

I take it Secure Path installs its own HS_Service, but it doesn't overwrite the registry keys if they already exist. So i changed the path in the registry for the executable to:
C:\Program Files\Compaq\SecurePath\HsService
and now the service starts!!!
