Windows Installation Checklists

Using Windows DMP When you use Windows 2000 DMP for CLARiiON, you need to take into account the following behaviors for LUNs under DMP management:

◆After Windows 2000 reboots, one SP owns all the LUNs. If you want the other SP to own any LUNs, you must manually transfer ownership of (trespass) those LUNs to the other SP using the Navisphere Manager or CLI.

◆Windows DMP for CLARiiON does not support auto-restore for LUNs. If a failure occurs in a path to an SP, Windows DMP transfers ownership of LUNs to the other SP, but it does not transfer ownership back to the original SP when the path is repaired. The server does not lose access to the transferred LUNs. If you want the original SP to access any LUNs for load balancing, you must manually transfer ownership of those LUNs back to the SP using the Navisphere Manager or CLI.

◆If I/O is occurring between a server and a LUN, you cannot use Navisphere to transfer ownership of the LUN from one SP to the other SP.

◆

Adding more than 40 LUNs to a Storage Group may cause Windows 2000 to crash.

The Navisphere Host Agent does not register host information with the storage system correctly.
