Interaction with HyperFabric Driver

The HP Fabric Clustering System driver will not co-exist with HyperFabric driver versions prior to B.11.23.01. The HyperFabric driver versions must be upgraded to version B.11.23.01 before installing the HP Fabric Clustering System driver. Failure to upgrade the HyperFabric driver to version B.11.23.01 will result in a system panic if HP Fabric Clustering System or HyperFabric commands are issued.
