Installation issues and solutions for Windows 2000

This section provides information on installation-related topics to help successfully implement Windows
2000.
Table 9. Windows 2000 Server installation issues
Issue 1
Certain Smart Array controllers and associated storage devices are not visible in Smart Array
Configuration Utility (ACU) and cannot be configured on HP ProLiant servers with Windows 2000
SP4 or SP3 Hotfix.
Description
Solution
HP ProLiant servers configured with certain Smart Array Controllers and their
associated storage devices will not be visible in the Array Configuration Utility
(ACU) or in Insight Manager 7. The Smart Array Controllers and their
associated storage devices will continue to function normally; however, they
will not be able to be configured by the ACU. The Event Log will display
"drivers not loading" messages and the Windows Device Manager will
display warnings regarding the class drivers.
This only occurs on HP ProLiant servers configured with greater than 6 GB of
memory that also have Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4) or Microsoft QFE
# Q817566 for Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3) installed.
Any HP ProLiant server with Windows 2000 SP4 or the Hotfix for Windows
2000 SP3, greater than 6 GB of memory, and configured with any of the
following controllers:
• SMART-2/P or SMART-2DH Controller
•
SMART-2SL Array Controller
•
Smart Array 3200 Controller
•
Smart Array 3100ES Controller
•
Smart Array 221 Controller
•
EISA Smart Array Controller
•
Integrated Smart Array Controller (HP ProLiant DL580, HP ProLiant DL760,
HP ProLiant 8000, HP ProLiant 8500)
•
RAID LC2 Controller
•
Smart Array 4200 Controller
•
Smart Array 4250ES Controller (HP ProLiant ML750)
•
Smart Array 431 Controller
The Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) and the following external
storage components are also rendered invisible:
•
RAID Array 4000
•
RAID Array 4100
•
MSA1000
In order for Smart Array Controllers and their associated storage devices to be
visible in the Array Configuration Utility (ACU) or in Insight Manager 7 and to
be able to be configured by the ACU, Microsoft has provided a Hotfix. To
obtain the Hotfix, refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 826322,
"Disk Array Controller Driver May Not Load After You Upgrade To Windows
2000 SP4," available at the following Microsoft URL:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=826322
As a workaround, limit the Windows 2000 addressable memory to 6 GB by
setting/maxmem=6000 in BOOT.INI.
