In an exchange of mails I found out from Mark, that the current KZSX driver is
not compatible with the current ALPha bIts of Wolfpack. Only after we removed
the driver were we able to create failover disks.

Please use this entry to supply us with information on when the new driver will
be available and where we can copy it from!

Thanks

Thomas, it is the HSZDISK.SYS driver we are working on. You will need V3.3
for Wolfpack. V3.3 in in evalutaion at this time. I will post a note when it
is available for Beta testing.

Thomas,

Are you talking about the KZPSA driver (deckzpsx.sys) or the HSZ 
driver (hszdisk.sys)?

I used a kzpsa driver connected to a BA356 via a Converter and had 
some problems but still could create shared disks.

Thanks

Didier,

it is the HSZDISK driver that was the culprit.
Only after disabling it we were able to failover disks. Groups could be
created, but not failed over!

    Didier, thomas,
    
    i understand that there might be a concern around both the firmware and
    the hszdisk driver with wolfpack. Storageworks are looking into it
