Chapter 7: Upgrade Instructions for the Windows OS
ATTENTION Possible data corruption – If the host is allowed to access data on the
storage array without RDAC or a valid installation of a path failover product, and has
dual paths to the storage array, the data might become unusable.
NOTE Before you start the primary server of a server cluster, complete all applicable
configuration procedures for each system. This version of the storage management
software does not support 64-bit versions of the Windows XP operating system. All
administrator functions using the storage management software must be performed
from a 32-bit storage management station.
Configure the Event Monitor on only one storage management station to prevent
receiving duplicate event messages. Duplicate alerts are also sent if the Enterprise
Management Window and the SMmonitor utility are running simultaneously.
NOTE Do not restart the system during the installation process. You will restart the
system after you install all of the storage management software components.
