Release Notes – HSG80 Enterprise/Modular Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel Solution

Software Version 8.7A for Windows

Notes

• HsxDisk.sys and HszDisk.sys are required drivers for array controller

configurations. The Solution Software CD-ROM that came with your kit includes

the following versions of these drivers:

— HszDisk.sys Version 4.4.0.9 for Windows NT 4.0

— HsxDisk.sys Version 5.4.21 for Windows 2000 (used only in transparent

failover configurations)

NOTE: Transparent failover configurations are not supported for Windows Server 2003.

• HS_Service records system errors used in conjunction with remote diagnostics

services provided through Proactive Services software.

• If you see a constantly blinking light on your Fibre Channel Switch, the topology

setting may be set to arbitrated loop mode on your server. To correct this, remove

the existing installation of the Fibre Channel Software and reinstall the desired

setup.

• When upgrading firmware on the DS-KGPSA-BC HBA from Versions 2.x to

Versions 3.x, follow the procedure in "Upgrading DS-KGPSA-BC Firmware",
