EMC Fibre Channel with QLogic HBAs in the Windows Environment
Installing and Configuring the HBA Driver
Upgrading to Windows 2003 from Windows 2000 or
Windows NT 4.0
Note the following if upgrading to Windows 2003:
Upgrading from Windows NT 4.0 — The Windows NT4 drivers
will not be preserved while upgrading to Windows 2003. You
should obtain the correct Windows 2003 drivers (refer to
Downloading QLogic Drivers and Firmware on page 2-2) and
reinstall the drivers after the upgrade is complete.
Upgrading from Windows 2000 — The Windows 2000 drivers
may be preserved while upgrading to Windows 2003. These
SCSIPort drivers (including the native Windows 2003 SCSIPort
drivers) are not supported by EMC for Windows 2003. You
should obtain the correct Windows 2003 drivers (refer to
Downloading QLogic Drivers and Firmware on page 2-2) and
reinstall the drivers after the upgrade is complete.
Currently, to upgrade from Windows NT or Windows 2000 to
Windows 2003, you must first uninstall PowerPath. After
upgrading the host, you can reinstall an approved Windows 2003
version. Please refer to the EMC PowerPath documentation for
further details.
You may wish to disconnect your storage during the Windows upgrade, and
reconnect it after the approved Windows 2003 drivers have been installed.
