Host Operating System Notes
49Release Notes – HSG80 Enterprise/Modular Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel Solution
Software Version 8.7A for Windows
SWCC SCSI Connection
The SWCC Client SCSI connection can sometimes produce the following error
message when trying to connect through the CCL:
Error scanning subsystem. Command Execution Error: [DeviceIOControl
Error:]
Additionally, physical devices may not appear in the Select Device drop-down list.
The SWCC CLI Window terminates if the New Window icon is selected, or if New is
selected from the File Menu, followed by clicking the Cancel button on the
Connection Selection dialog box. If the connection becomes lost, restart the Client
application.
StorageWorks strongly recommends that you use the SWCC Agent to manage the
storage system.
Host Operating System Notes
The following section lists host-specific operating notes.
Host Operating System Support of Multi-Bus Failover
Multi-bus failover is supported on the Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows
Server 2003 operating system through the use of Secure Path software. See "Secure
Path Software", page 26, for version compatibility and restrictions.
Upgrading DS-KGPSA-BC Firmware
Use this procedure to upgrade the DS-KGPSA-BC HBA firmware from Version 2.x to
Version 3.x (for example, V2.20x7 to V3.20x7).
Version 3.x firmware is Fibre Channel Standard compliant and uses a different World
Wide Name (WWN) for Host and Port (2xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx format for Host and
1xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx for Port, where xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx is identical in both).
The new WWN structure creates new Host Connections on the HSG80 controllers for
the HBA. The original host connections are marked “offline” and are no longer usable.
To maintain server access to storage units behind the HSG80 controllers, change the
storage units’ access to use the new Host Connections.
