Linux boot volumes on servers.

Additional Microsoft Preparations

Before installing Smart Array Multipath software on a server with a Microsoft

operating system, connect only one of the SCSI cables from one HBA to the

MSA500 system. Leave the second SCSI cable to the redundant HBA disconnected.

After the multipath software is installed, connect the second SCSI cable.
