Issue:
Bugcheck 0x50 (PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA) in next boot after disabling Multipath
Support
Description
Usi
ng the Microsoft Device Manager to disable the HP MPIO driver and rebooting
thesystemcausesthesystemtocontinuouslyreboot.Aftersuccessfullyinstalling
th
e MPIO and DSM for MSA/EVA/XP, right-click and disable Multipath Support
from D evice Manager and reboot th e system. During the next boot, the system
bugchecks with bugcheck code 0x50 when coming up. The issue occurs because
t
he DSM uses MPIO export DsmGetVersion. This call is made even before
t
he DSM registers with MPIO. Since MPIO is disabled, DsmGetVersion is not
a
vailable, and the system bugchecks. The uninstall driver selection under Device
Manager works fine.

Known Good Configuration torecoverthesystem,orbootintorecoveryconsole
