Software Version 8.7A for Windows
which you simply replace an FC HBA in one of your systems. During such a
system or adapter changeover, be sure to manually remap drives to drive letters
using Disk Manager. This restores proper access to your data.
• If you replace an FC HBA in a server, you need to reinstall the HBA driver and
then rerun the Fibre Channel Setup utility. This is so that Windows 2000 can
automatically reload the original driver for this adapter and reset many of the
important registry settings. New connections are created on the HSG controller.
Those connections should be renamed and assigned to the appropriate units.
For more information about installing the adapter, see the HSG80 ACS Solution
Software Version 8.7 Installation and Configuration Guide and use the software
on the Solution Software CD-ROM.
