Installing and Configuring the HBA Driver
Windows 2003 STORPort Updates
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 current Microsoft QFE
hotfix listed in the EMC Support Matrix with the HBA driver
revisions.
Install this patch before installing the HBA driver.
Extended Error Logging by QLogic Drivers
In driver versions prior to the 9.X family, additional messages were
logged in the system event log when the "extended error logging"
parameter was enabled in the HBA BIOS. The messages were
primarily informational, but often confused users by appearing to be
legitimate error messages.
Driver family 9.X and beyond will no longer log these additional
messages in the event log even if the “extended error logging”
parameter is enabled. New tools have been developed for developers
and engineers troubleshooting customer problems without the need
for these messages. Visit the website
http://www.qlogic.com/support/logs/event_log.asp
for
information about QLogic event messages.”
