PowerPath Configurations for Windows

Read this section if you are installing a Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 PowerPath configuration with a new or existing server and a new or existing storage system.

A new and existing server and a new and existing storage system are defined as follows:

new server - A server running Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 and not connected to any storage system.

existing server - A server running Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 that is already connected to one or more storage systems.

new storage system - A CX300, CX500, CX500i, or CX700 storage system that has the factory default settings and that has never been connected to a server.

existing storage system - A CX-Series, FC4500, or FC4700-Series storage system that is already connected to one or more servers and is in a Navisphere domain.

All CLARiiON storage systems connected to a Windows server must be CX-Series or FC-Series storage systems that are supported for that server. If any other type of CLARiiON storage system is connected to the server, the server cannot run PowerPath.
