496A/0197 WHITE PAPER (cont.) ... The following items from the check list in the "Getting Started" section were identified for consideration in this migration scenario: • HAL requires upgrade • ProLiant 4500 Server system processor options are not compatible with the ProLiant 5000 Server • ProLiant 4500 Server memory options are not compatible with the ProLiant 5000 Server • System Configuration, Diagnostics, and Windows NT SSD require updates • NetFlex-3/E Controller can be upgraded to PCI for performance improvement • Systems management driver requires upgrade As with all the configurations in this document, you must upgrade the HAL. Failure to upgrade the HAL results in a blue screen trap during server initialization. Detailed instructions for upgrading the HAL are included in the "Step-by-Step Instructions" section of this document. If you are in the planning stage of a migration, note that the processor and memory options from the ProLiant 4500 Server are not compatible with the ProLiant 5000 Server. Although the device driver for the SMART Controller installed in the ProLiant 4500 Server is compatible with the SMART-2/P Controller planned for the ProLiant 5000 Server, the drive array must be reconfigured after the disk drives are relocated to the ProLiant 5000. Detailed instructions for this process are included in the "Step-by-Step Instructions" section of this document. The NetFlex-3/E Controller in this configuration is compatible but does not utilize the highperformance PCI architecture in the ProLiant 5000 Server. To take advantage of the PCI architecture in the ProLiant 5000 Server, you must install the updated version of this controller. Even though the existing controller device driver is compatible, you should upgrade it at the same time as the system management driver. Detailed instructions for updating the system partition utilities (System Configuration, Diagnostics, Drive Array Configuration, and so on) can be found in the "Step-by-Step Instructions" section of this document. Migration Scenario 3 The additional processors and Service Pack 2 in the following migration scenario will not require changes to the procedures used to migrate scenario 2 stated earlier. 7

The following items from the check list in the “Getting Started” section were identified for
consideration in this migration scenario:
•
HAL requires upgrade
•
ProLiant 4500 Server system processor options are not compatible with the ProLiant
5000 Server
•
ProLiant 4500 Server memory options are not compatible with the ProLiant 5000 Server
•
System Configuration, Diagnostics, and Windows NT SSD require updates
•
NetFlex-3/E Controller can be upgraded to PCI for performance improvement
•
Systems management driver requires upgrade
As with all the configurations in this document, you must upgrade the HAL. Failure to upgrade
the HAL results in a blue screen trap during server initialization. Detailed instructions for
upgrading the HAL are included in the “Step-by-Step Instructions” section of this document.
If you are in the planning stage of a migration, note that the processor and memory options from
the ProLiant 4500 Server are
not
compatible with the ProLiant 5000 Server.
Although the device driver for the SMART Controller installed in the ProLiant 4500 Server is
compatible with the SMART-2/P Controller planned for the ProLiant 5000 Server, the drive
array must be reconfigured after the disk drives are relocated to the ProLiant 5000.
Detailed
instructions for this process are included in the “Step-by-Step Instructions” section of this
document.
The NetFlex-3/E Controller in this configuration is compatible but does not utilize the high-
performance PCI architecture in the ProLiant 5000 Server. To take advantage of the PCI
architecture in the ProLiant 5000 Server, you must install the updated version of this controller.
Even though the existing controller device driver is compatible, you should upgrade it at the same
time as the system management driver.
Detailed instructions for updating the system partition utilities (System Configuration,
Diagnostics, Drive Array Configuration, and so on) can be found in the “Step-by-Step
Instructions” section of this document.
Migration Scenario 3
The additional processors and Service Pack 2 in the following migration scenario will not require
changes to the procedures used to migrate scenario 2 stated earlier.
