3. One at a time, right-click each Disk Resource in the right pane and select Properties.
4. Select the Advanced tab from the Properties menu.

Host considerations
This section contains information and important reminders about the host servers.
Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 notes
Drive-letter remapping can occur in the following situations and it can affect access to data by programs
you may need to run.
• Replacing one server with another.
• Replacing an FC HBA in one of your systems.
During such a system or adapter changeover, be sure to manually remap drives to drive letters
using Disk Manager. This restores proper access to your data.
When you replace an FC HBA in a server, you need to reinstall the HBA driver. Windows
2000/Windows Server 2003 automatically reloads the original driver for this adapter and resets
many important registry settings. New connections are created on the HSV controller. Assign the
new WWNs to the appropriate host.
Upgrading from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003
If you are upgrading from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003, you must
remove the software components installed by the previous version of the Fibre Channel Setup utility:
1. Start the existing version of the Fibre Channel setup utility, and fol ow the procedures to remove
components. Alternatively, you can use the Add/Remove Programs applet.
2. Upgrade from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 as instructed by
Microsoft® documentation.
3. Reboot.
4. Instal the HBA driver upgrade as instructed in the HP SANworks Windows NT/Windows 2000
Kit V2.0 for Enterprise Virtual Array.
5. Run the Fibre Channel Setup utility.
