While you can install generic 32bit apps on 64bit Windows and they run in x86 emulation mode, I highly doubt that you could successfully install 32bit PowerPath on an x64 server. The reason is that PowerPath operates at a device driver layer and that is a 64bit layer on x64 Windows.  Do you have a server you could test this on? I assume I am right but it sure would be interesting if I was wrong [IMAGE]
Just exploring the possibility.  I'm currently running Windows x64 with Powerpath (Booting from SAN) - - - - Long story short this is my VCB proxy server and I can't get any VCB backups to work.  We keep getting "unable to access disk" errors.  Backup Software Vendor is stating this is definitely a VMWare issue.  VMWare claims the Proxy server doesn't have access to the ESX Datastores which it does.  Apparently, x64 bit versions of Powerpath are not supported.  Meaning, I would have to make sure all ESX Datastores are own by the same processor and make sure I "zone" one HBA to a processor port on the Clariion owning the LUNs.  This is not going to happen since we have 33 ESX Datastores.  My question is as crazy as it may sound, Can we install x32 Powerpath on x64 bit OS?  Thanks,  Damian Tapia [IMAGE]
Can you install 32 bit Powerpath on a 64 bit Windows?
