Installing adapter driver and software utilities
Emulex adapters must be installed in the server prior to installing the
drivers and utilities. (Refer to “Installing the adapter” on page 22.)
To use EMC storage array disks with a Windows 2000, 2003, or 2008
host, you need a Fibre Channel host adapter driver. The driver and
related utilities must be installed and configured before Windows can
access the EMC disks. This is done with ease during the Windows
setup (if booting from SAN) or by using the Emulex AutoPilot
Installer Kit. AutoPilot Installer helps you install and configure
drivers for your Emulex Fibre Channel adapters by walking you
through the following steps:
◆ Adapter selection
◆ Driver installation (SCSI or STOR)
◆ Utility installation
◆ Installation verification
Three sections are outlined on the following pages to help with
installation and configuration of your adapter drivers and utilities
using the AutoPilot Install Kit:
◆ “Pre-installation guidelines”, next
◆ “Installing or upgrading the driver and utilities” on page 100
Pre-installation guidelines
For Windows 2003, EMC supports both the STORPort driver class
and the SCSIPort driver class. EMC recommends STORport in most
cases. SCSIPort drivers for Windows 2003 have been frozen and no
new versions are planned for this model. Windows 2000 uses only the
SCSIPort driver class.
Note: Refer to the EMC Support Matrix for the latest required adapter
revisions.
