Hot
fix considerations for Windows 2003 STORPort drivers:
Currently, the
shipping version of Windows Server 2003 requires post-RTM hot fixes to
resolve some known issues. For all Windows Server 2003 STORPort
installations, obtain the current Microsoft QFE hot fix listed in the E-Lab
Interoperability Navigator (ESM) with
the HBA driver revisions. Current hotfixes are also listed with the appropriate
HBA driver on the Qlogic/EMC driver pages.
Install the
current Microsoft QFE Hotfix and reboot before updating the HBA driver.
Note: If you are about to upgrade your system to Service Pack 1
for Windows Server 2003, you should upgrade the HBA drivers to the latest
supported version prior to installing the service pack.
