HP LeftHand P4000 DSM for MPIO and Windows Server 2008

The HP LeftHand P4000 DSM for MPIO that supports Windows Server 2008 is available only from

the LeftHand Networks website as a software download. Go to www.LeftHandNetworks.com >

Resources-> Software Downloads > Solution Packs > 8.1 GA. There are separate installers for both

32- and 64-bit Windows Server 2008. You can also find the software by going to

http://www.hp.com/support/downloads and search for the software by name.

Prerequisites

•32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows Server 2003

HP LeftHand P4000 Windows Solution Pack Release Notes4

•VSS Provider - Windows Server 2003

•Windows Server 2008, all versions

•DSM for MPIO - Windows Server 2003, SP1

If installing HP LeftHand P4000 DSM for MPIO into an existing Microsoft Cluster, use the following

steps.

1. First move all the resources from the node to be upgraded to another cluster node.

2. Pause the node on which you plan to install HP LeftHand P4000 DSM for MPIO, then proceed

with the installation on that node only.

3. The upgraded node will reboot, after which you can move the resources back.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each node.

•Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator - Recommended: Version 2.08 (or greater)

NOTE:

This has changed for 7.0 forward: When installing the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator version 2.08

(or greater), you must now install the Microsoft DSM if it is not present. The HP LeftHand P4000 DSM

for MPIO installer detects if the Microsoft DSM is missing and a message opens with instructions for

installing the MS DSM.

NOTE:

Important note about upgrading to version 2.08 (or greater) of the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator

If the DSM for MPIO is present on the system, you must use the following procedure to ensure a

successful upgrade.

1. Disconnect all volumes and iSCSI sessions before upgrading the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.

2. After completing the upgrade, reconnect the volumes and reestablish the sessions.

Failure to follow this procedure can result in a loss of volume connectivity and the initiator installation

can stop responding. In this case, the installer cancel button does not work. Instead, you must use the

Task Manager to end the process for the initiator installer. Applications are likely to time out in this

scenario.

Once you have ended the installer process in the Task Manager, you can log into disconnected

volumes manually.

Installation/Upgrade Instructions

If you are upgrading to SAN/iQ software Release 8.1, and you are currently using any component

of the HP LeftHand P4000 Windows Solution Pack, the upgrade sequence differs slightly from the

upgrade sequence for upgrading the SAN/iQ software and the Centralized Management Console

(CMC) only.

For detailed instructions about upgrading the SAN/iQ software and the CMC, see the Release Notes

for version 8.1.

If you are running a previous version of the DSM for MPIO, the installer prompts you to first uninstall

that version before installing the current version.
