Apple Xraid, use with Ms Windows 2008 on HP server
I would like to use a spare Xraid on my new Hyper-V SCMM Library manager. It is a Dl360 G5 from HP.
Questions:
- a) there is any third party Radi administration utility able to work with the Xraid ? the only RaidAdmin utility I found is the one from Apple, but the release for Windows is very outdated, much older than the Firmware version on the Xraid, and I know from past troubles that the two - Radiadmin+firmware - must be at the same revision level to work reliably;
b) I'm trying to use an FC Card from Apple - really an LSI 7202P - but even if I installed the correct drivers the board refuse to work properly, I always get an error from the device management utility of Windows 2008 server Std 64 bit.
LEast but not least HP does provide and certify only 4 Gb FC boards for the Dl360 G5, any suggestion about an FC card that should work ?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you for your help. Excuse me, but I did not realize it was a different question. Just for the records I tried anothe FC card from Apple, an LSI 7202XP, and it works just fine with the LSI drivers and Windows 2003 Std.
Seems like the problem was with the LSI7202P really.

Are all FC cards backard compatible, or I need to use a 2 Gb card to interface the Xraid to my Dl360 ?
