HP StorageWorks 3000/5000 Enterprise Virtual Array connectivity for Windows installation and reference guide (5697-7047, November 2007)

If you are unable to access the virtual disk, check the following:

• Verify all cabling to the switch, Enterprise Virtual Array, and host.

• Verify all ﬁrmware levels (check the associated Enterprise Virtual Array release notes for details).

• Ensure that you are running a supported version of the host op erating system (see the release

notes included with this documentation).

• Ensure that the virtual d isk is presented to the correct host in HP Command View EVA.

• Ensure that Microsoft Windows is selected as the operating system type of the host connection.

Conﬁguring v

irtual disks from the host

After you set

up the virtual disks on the EVA and have rescanned or restarted the host, follow the

host-speciﬁ c conventions for conﬁguring these new disk resources. Refer to the documentation that came

with your server for speciﬁc instructions on setting up disk resources.

Conﬁguring Disks on Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003

Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 require the same disk setup (partition, format, and drive

letters).

Use the Disk Management utility within the Computer Management application to conﬁgure the virtual

disks using standard Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 conventions.
