For the FCA2214 HBA, the event log shows QL2300 Event ID 11 when you reboot one cluster node using the SCSIport miniport driver 9. 1. 0. 13. An internal parity error occurs when de-referencing an invalid XmIocbList pointer in the following configurations: · FCA2214 HBA on a Windows 2000 cluster · HP ProLiant DL580 G2 servers · MSA1000 with MSAHUB 2/3 To correct this problem, use the latest released driver. HP ProLiant DL380 (G4) servers must have Systems ROMPaq Firmware 4. 05 P51-08/16/2005 or later to be compatible with the FC1142SR and FC1242SR HBAs. Failure to use this ROMPaq version can cause the HBAs to hang during the power-on self-test (POST).
