Windows 2000 upgrade requirements

[Ayman Altounji]

I've got 2 Proliant 8000's that I want to upgrade to Windows 2000, and want to know if there are specific requirements for the hardware/software we have, especially the Secure Path stuff.

When I run the chkupgrd.exe from W2K I get 3 items, 2 about NIC Teaming and one about the Management Agents. There isn't any additional info about what it doesn't like about the NIC Teaming. Has this issue been dealt with, as the chkupgrd.exe is rather old.

Specs:
Proliant 8000, 4 550Mhz processors, 2GB RAM
2 4250ES Raid controllers
2 Compaq Gigabit Ethernet Adapters
2 Fibre Channel HBA's connect to an RA8000
Secure Path 2.2.2 (I think)
SWCC, not sure which version

Hi, for your upgrade, I would sugg the system rom upgrade, and running the primer utility (sp14394); It remove Compaq drivers and utilities before upgrading the server from nt4. Hope this will help.
