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 documentation page of the MSA1500 website: http://www.hp.com/go/msa1500cs. • 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: Old entry Modified entry LOAD SCSIHD.CDM LOAD SCSIHD.CDM /AEN d. For each HBA, verify that the following options are specified: load ql2x00.ham slot=x/luns/allpaths/portnames, where x represents the slot number. NOTE: The Native MPIO solution can co-exist with HP Secure Path for NetWare. 92 Configuration procedures-Other environments
