Operating system-specific notes

NOTE: SCO UNIX, VMware, OpenVMS, and Tru64 UNIX do not use the provided MSA Support
Software CD. These operating systems use the MSA-CLI to configure the storage and obtain the HBA
drivers and multipathing tools from a different source, such as through operating system updates or
the HP website.

NetWare environments

• Single-controller configurations are supported for use with active/passive firmware only.
• Dual-controller configurations are supported for use with either active/passive (using Secure Path
as the multipathing software) or active/active firmware (using the native NetWare MPIO
multipathing software).
• For information on upgrading the MSA to active/active, see the migration instructions for
NetWare environments, available on the Technical documentation page of the MSA1500
website: http://www.hp.com/go/msa1500cs.
• If desired, NetWare environments can use the Array Configuration Utility to configure the MSA.
The ACU is provided on the MSA Support Software CD and can be installed and run from a
Windows or Linux server, or, the NetWare server can boot to the CD and run the ACU offline
from the CD.
• If using the ACU to configure the MSA, install Netscape Navigator version 6.2 or later or
Mozilla, version 1.0.2 or later with Personal Security Manager.
• After installing the MSA, be sure to set the host mode for each NetWare connection to netware.
• If the MSA is upgraded to 6.86 or later active/active firmware, do the following to activate the
native MPIO provided by Novell.
From the console:
a. Enter edit c:\nwserver\startup.ncf.
b. Add the following entry as the first line in the startup.ncf file:
set multi-path support = on
c. Locate the following entry and modify it:
Old entry
LOAD SCSIHD.CDM
d. For each HBA, verify that the following options are specified: load ql2x00.ham
slot=x/luns/allpaths/portnames, where x represents the slot number.
NOTE:

The Native MPIO solution can co-exist with HP Secure Path for NetWare.
Modified entry
