Operating-system-specific notes
Note:
SCO UNIX, VMWare, OpenVMS, and Tru64 UNIX do not use the provided
MSA Support Software CD. These operating systems use the MSA-CLI to configure the
storage and obtain the HBA drivers and multipathing tools from a different source, such
as through operating system updates or the HP website.
NetWare environments
Single-controller configurations are supported for use with active/passive
firmware only. Dual-controller configurations are supported for use with
either active/passive (using Secure Path as the multipathing software) or
active/active firmware (using the native NetWare MPIO multipathing
software).
For information on upgrading the MSA to active/active, see the migration
instructions for NetWare environments, available on the Technical documents
page of the MSA1500 website:
.
If desired, NetWare environments can use the Array Configuration Utility to
configure the MSA. The ACU is provided on the MSA Support Software CD
and can be installed and run from a Windows or Linux server, or, the NetWare
server can boot to the CD and run the ACU offline from the CD.
If using the ACU to configure the MSA, install Netscape Navigator version
6.2 or later or Mozilla, version 1.0.2 or later with Personal Security Manager.
After installing the MSA, be sure to set the host mode for each NetWare
connection to
netware
.
If the MSA is upgraded to 6.86 or later active/active firmware, do the
following to activate the native MPIO provided by Novell.
From the console:
a.
Enter
edit c:\nwserver\startup.ncf
.
b.
Add the following entry as the first line in the startup.ncf file:
set multi-path support = on
c.
Locate the following entry and modify it:
