Rolling Upgrade to W2003 Entripse Edition fails

Hi,

Trying to upgrade a Windows 2000 Advanced Server Cluster to 2003 using the rolling upgrade method KB28227. Upon restart the system momentarily blue screens and restart. It's in a loop and the blue screen error flashes too quickly to read.

ML370G3 Dual CPUs, 2 internal HDs
2 NICS (Broadcomm & HP)
2 HP 64bit/66 MHZ Fibre HBA
2 StorageWorks RA4100s
Insight Manager V7 agents
HP Secure Path v3

Thanks,
Patrick

Found the problem!

W2K3 was choking on the Secure Path v3.1 driver radisk.sys. Got the machine up by removing the 2 FC HBAs. Then I uninstalled Secure Path. Upgrade completed successfully. Now I need to find a W2K3 version of Secure Path for Storage Works RA4100. Anyone know?

Thanks,
Patrick

Sounds like I need Secure Path v3.1C for RA4100. Problem - this is not a download. HP says I need to purchase the HA/FA200 Cluster Kit for $2,700 to get the Secure Path v3.1C media. Ouch.
