Install the device drivers on Windows
Although the OSA IPMI driver limits the support for single node systems only, the
Microsoft IPMI driver is required for multinode x3950 M2 configurations.
You may use both drivers, but the OSA IPMI and the Microsoft IPMI drivers
cannot coexist. If the OSA driver is already installed, you must uninstall it before
installing the Microsoft IPMI driver.
Notes:
On multinode x3950 M2 configurations, the Microsoft IPMI device driver is
the only supported IPMI driver. If you have the OSA IPMI device driver
installed you must remove that and replace it with the Microsoft IPMI
device driver. The Microsoft IPMI driver is not installed in Windows Server
2003 by default. See the readme file in the driver package for more details.
The Microsoft IPMI device driver is required for UXSP, wFlash (embedded
in any IBM update packages for Windows), and online Dynamic System
Analysis (DSA) software.
This section describes how to install the drivers under Windows.
