W2K3 x64, AX100 and QLA200 HBA...

After a quick view of a few threads and not finding a for sure answer, I figured I'd give this a try.

I'm trying to install a QLA200 HBA in a PE6850 running Windows 2003 x64 bit Enterprise Edition SP1. No matter what I do, I cannot get the SANSurfer to install the drivers for the card. I cannot manually install the card either...

Any ideas? Is the QLA200 not supported under 2003 x64 SP1?

Did you check the AX100 support matrix to make sure you meet the requirements in the form of the right drivers and firmware?

I usually just use the device manager to install drivers, not SANsurfer.

Which driver version are you trying to install? (to get to the driver downloads you go to the Qlogic site, then downloads, then EMC, then the AX100 and finally the QL200).

I ended up sending the same message to QLogic's tech support and they came back with this...

"Hello Ian,

The QLA200 isn't supported under 2k3 64-bit, only 32-bit. For 64bit support you'd need to move to a card like the QLA2340."

So I contacted my account manager to see if Dell even carries the QLA/QLE line of cards to see if I can get an exchange... I'd hat eto drop back to 32bit just to run the QLA200's.
