Where to Find the Driver

Windows 2003 STORPort Updates

To use EMC storage array disks with a Windows host, you need an EMC-qualified Fibre Channel HBA driver. The HBA kit includes an EMC-approved driver, which must be installed and configured prior to partitioning the storage array disks. You should also check the QLogic website for the latest EMC-approved version. (Refer to Downloading QLogic Drivers and Firmware on page 2-2.)

Driver support is as follows:

◆Version 8.1.5.20 — QLA22xx, QLA23xx (no CX200-Series direct-connect dual host cluster), Windows NT, Windows 2000

◆Version 8.1.5.21 — QLA23xx, Windows NT, Windows 2000

◆Version 8.2.1.20 — QLA23xx, Windows 2000

◆Version 8.2.2.20 — QLA23xx STORPort, Windows 2003 only

◆Version 8.2.2.25 — QLA23xx, Windows 2000 and Windows 2003

You can find the driver:

◆on the QLogic CD-ROM that accompanied the HBA. Copy the driver from the OS-specific directory:\WindowsNT4 or \Windows2000.

◆on the QLogic website. Refer to Downloading QLogic Drivers and Firmware on page 2-2.

To ease installation of the driver, unzip the driver file onto a blank diskette.

Currently the shipping version of Windows 2003 requires post-RTM hotfixes to resolve some known issues. For all Windows 2003 STORPort installations, you should obtain the hotfix listed in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article Q820362.

Install this patch before installing the HBA driver.
