From the most current release notes for EMC Host Agent (docu47422_Unisphere-Host-Software-CLI-and-Utilities-for-VNX-OE-for-Block-Release-Notes-Version-1.2.26.1.0094.pdf) page 3 - attached is case you don't have the most current release notes. Seems support was added for Windows 2012 with flare release 32 patch 201. These release notes are for the recently released patch 204.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows Server 2012 support for Host Agent and Server Utility  Unisphere Host Agent, CLI, Secure CLI, Server Utility, and Storage System Initialization Utility support Windows Server 2012. However, Windows Server 2012 with NPIV enabled is not supported in this release. That is, the virtual FC registration inside the virtual machine running on Windows Server 2012 is not supported. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  glen
Hello, Currently I have a Server 2012 Hyper-V Cluster with CX4-120for storage. I have a problem with pass-through disks to VM’s (adding/removingLUN to the cluster causes problems) and have read I need to dump the pass-throughmethod in favor of using virtual FC HBA’s and connect the LUN directly to VM.        I’m 99% of the way there, but I can’t seem to get the VM toregister with the array. I can manually register the host and assign a SG andLUN no problem everything works. But I’ve tried the unisphere agent (latest andlast two version for Windows) and the server utility and neither register withthe array. The VM has only one NIC and even so I added a agenID.txt file justin case, but no luck. I can ping in both directions and the agent service isrunning.        My first question is, what’s the best way to troubleshoot agentissues.  I don’t see logs on either the VMor the array that can help.       Second question, what could be wrong?       My basic config is… FC switch (MDS 9124) is enabled forNPIV, physical HBA’s (Emulex LPe11000e) are NPIV enabled w/latest driversinstalled and I’ve setup my virtual FC switch in Hyper-V and added vHBAadapters to the VM.        Thanks for the help! Ken
