Abstract

This integration note describes the level of support available for Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2), which includes:

Supported configurations of ProLiant servers

Recommended system configuration and server platforms

Supported software, storage options, and network adapters

Procedures for new installations

Known issues with workarounds

This paper describes the level of support available for Microsoft Windows Standard Server, Enterprise Server and Datacenter Server editions of the Windows Server 2003 family with Service Pack 2.

Microsoft releases Windows Server 2003 in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. The focus of this paper is for the Intel® and AMD 32-bit and 64-bit server processor families. This paper does not describe support for Itanium® 2-based systems or for Windows XP Professional X64 edition.

This document and others pertaining to Windows Server 2003 can be found at www.hp.com/go/windows.

Introduction to Windows Server 2003 and SP2

SP2 is an accumulation of fixes since the original release of Windows Server 2003. The following operating systems (OS) may be upgraded to SP2:

Windows Server 2003

Windows Server 2003 SP1

Windows Server 2003 X64 Edition

Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard and Premium Editions

Windows Server 2003 R2 X64 Edition

Windows Server 2003 SP1 for Itanium-based systems

Windows Server 2003 Storage Server R2 Edition

Windows Server 2003 Compute Cluster Edition

Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Servers R2 Edition

Windows XP Professional X64 Edition

In addition, Windows Server 2003 SP2 includes updates for the following features or services:

Windows Deployment Services

Microsoft Management Console 3.0

Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)

Scalable Networking Pack

Enabling “Firewall Per Port” Authentication

Enhanced Discoverability Options for MSCONFIG

Improved IPSEC Filter Management

Performance Improvements under Windows Virtualization

For the full list of features and services offered in Windows Server 2003 SP2, visit: www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsserver/sp2.mspx.

Windows Server 2003 SP2 may be purchased from HP as an in-box CD-ROM set when ordered with a supported HP ProLiant server. For details, visit: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/software/microsoft/OS/Windows2003_buy.html.

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Datacenter support

In October of 2006, Microsoft announced unlimited virtualization support with Windows Server 2003 R2 Datacenter. In support of this announcement, HP now offers Windows Server 2003 R2 Datacenter as a supported OS on the ProLiant server platforms listed in Table 1.

The ProLiant Support Pack released as a part of SmartStart 7.70 supports Windows Server 2003 R2 Datacenter on the above platforms. SmartStart assisted path installation for the above platforms will be offered in a future release of SmartStart.

For more information regarding unlimited virtualization support in Windows Server 2003 R2 Datacenter, visit the Microsoft website at the following address: www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/evaluation/news/bulletins/datacenterhighavail.mspx.

Supported configurations

Windows Server 2003 SP2 should load and run on any ProLiant server that meets the recommended hardware configuration established by Microsoft and is listed as supported with Windows Server 2003 on the HP OS Support Matrix found at: http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/458915-0-0-0-121.html.

Carefully review this document for the recommended system configuration and possible issues you might encounter. Performing due diligence optimizes your resources and testing scenarios. Do not use this paper as your sole source of information. In addition to the websites mentioned throughout this paper, you might also want to visit the Windows Server 2003 SP2 support page at http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/software/microsoft/OS/Windows2003_overview.html and the Microsoft website at www.microsoft.com.

Recommended system configuration

Tables 2 and 3 list the recommended minimum system configuration established by Microsoft for Windows Server 2003 R2. These requirements do not change for applying Windows server 2003 SP2. The recommendations listed here pertain to the Windows Server 2003 R2 OS only and do not include the requirements for software applications that run on your system. Please check your application requirements to make certain your system can run both the OS and your software. Most software vendors have this information posted to their website.

NOTE 6: The ROM for this ProLiant server supports the Microsoft® Emergency Management Service console feature in Windows Server 2003.

NOTE 7: This System ROM upgrade is considered a critical fix and is required to correct Issue 1 in Appendix B. HP strongly recommends immediate application of required critical fixes. Neglecting to perform the required action could leave the server in an unstable condition, which could potentially result in sub-optimal server performance, server lockups or failures, ungraceful server shutdowns, hardware damage or data corruption, or data loss. By disregarding this notification, the customer accepts the risk of incurring future related events.
