Workaround: Manually unmount the installation CD. For example, if the CD was auto-mounted in /media/HpInstallx.x, issue the following commands to remount the CD: # unmount /media/HpInstallx.x # mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom If the unmount command fails with a busy warning, make sure you have closed all applications and consoles that could be using the CD media. • On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 the MSA2000 uses the native Microsoft MPIO. Perform this procedure for all Windows 2008 systems in your SAN to configure MPIO. nl To activate MPIO: nl 1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. 2. Double-click the MPIO icon. 3. Select the second tab, Discover Multi-Paths. 4. The MSA2000 appears in the Others section in the Device Hardware ID. 5. The MSA2000 should appear as HP LOGICAL VOLUME. Select this entry and then click Add. • Windows Server 2008 upgrade issue: Performing an upgrade from a previous installation on the Windows Server 2008 will cause two components (MSA2000 MPIO and SES drivers) to fail to install. Workaround: These components are not needed by the Windows Server 2008. Please ignore the failure of those components during an upgrade from a previous version. EVA-specific issues • EVA configuration: The SSCM has the following restrictions when managing an EVA array: • Host definitions cannot be removed from the EVA by the SSCM. • Once a port (HBA) has been added to a host definition, the port cannot be removed by the SSCM. • HP Command View EVA offers great flexibility in how a user can configure an EVA. However, the SSCM may not operate as expected if an array was configured using HP Command View EVA. A user should use SSCM or HP Command View EVA to configure an array, but not both. NOTE: Using HP Command View EVA to delete unwanted entries in an array's configuration (such as a host or port that has been physically removed) is supported. • EVA login account: If the EVA login user name is changed, use the HP VDS Configuration Utility for EVA to re-enter the new user name and password. This utility is installed with the EVA VDS hardware provider and can be launched from Start > Programs > Hewlett-Packard > Hardware Providers. • EVA4400 not discovered on startup: EVA4400 is not discovered on the startup of SSCM. Workaround: If your SAN contains an EVA4400, ensure that all HP Command View installations within that SAN are running HP Command View 8.0 or later.
