QLogic HBA Issues
– The BIOS must be disabled on the HBA. Failure to disable the BIOS can result in unstable operation
and compromised storage.
– The HP SAN Manager LM QLogic HBA driver (trqladrv.sys) does not support hot-plugging. You cannot
insert an HBA card into a computer that is powered on.
– If you choose not to install the HP SAN Manager LM QLogic HBA driver during the SAN Manager LM
installation procedure, and later you decide to use the HP SAN Manager LM QLogic HBA driver, you
must uninstall and then reinstall SAN Manager LM.

SAN Manager LM-Ready Filter Driver
– A standard filter driver for FCCI (Fibre Channel Common
Interface) compliant HBA drivers has been included in SAN Manager LM. This filter driver provides support
for qualified off-the-shelf HBA drivers from other HBA vendors.
LUN Identification
– LUNs that are related (same unit of storage with a different WWN) can now be
identified through SAN Manager LM’s device shortcut menu. This capability simplifies the management of
multi-ported RAIDs that present duplicate LUNs on more than one port for high availability and other
purposes.
Drag-and-Drop Discovery
– A new method has been provided for the discovery of hosts on Windows NT
networks. The SAN Manager LM administrator can now invoke discovery on selected hosts or a branch of
the Windows NT Network Neighborhood tree by selecting the items and dragging them into the main
window of the SAN Manager LM administration application.
Device Locking
– Inadvertent changes to devices can now be prevented by the device locking feature. A
locked device cannot be assigned, unassigned, moved to another device group, or re-partitioned.
