Operating-system-specific notes
Note: SCO UNIX, VMWare, OpenVMS, and Tru64 UNIX do not use the provided
MSA Support Software CD. These operating systems use the MSA-CLI to configure the
storage and obtain the HBA drivers and multipathing tools from a different source, such
as through operating system updates or the HP website.
NetWare environments
■ Single-controller configurations are supported for use with active/passive
firmware only. Dual-controller configurations are supported for use with
either active/passive (using Secure Path as the multipathing software) or
active/active firmware (using the native NetWare MPIO multipathing
software).
■ For information on upgrading the MSA to active/active, see the migration
instructions for NetWare environments, available on the Technical documents
page of the MSA1500 website:
http://www.hp.com/go/msa15 00cs .
■ If desired, NetWare environments can use the Array Configuration Utility to
configure the MSA. The ACU is provided on the MSA Support Software CD
and can be installed and run from a Windows or Linux server, or, the NetWare
server can boot to the CD and run the ACU offline from the CD.
■ If using the ACU to configure the MSA, install Netscape Navigator version
6.2 or later or Mozilla, version 1.0.2 or later with Personal Security Manager.
■ After installing the MSA, be sure to set the host mode for each NetWare
connection to netware.
■ If the MSA is upgraded to 6.86 or later active/active firmware, do the
following to activate the native MPIO provided by Novell.
From the console:
a. Enter edit c:\nwserver\startup.ncf.
b. Add the following entry as the first line in the startup.ncf file:
set multi-path support = on
c. Locate the following entry and modify it:
