Provisioning storage errors with Windows 2003 SP1
Windows 2003 SP1 has limited functionality for LUN provisioning. If you have issues provisioning
storage from HP SmartStart EVA Storage in a Fibre Channel configuration, upgrade your Windows
2003 server to SP2.
Alternately, you can provision storage directly from HP Command View EVA and manually setting
the new device as available to Windows.
