newbie question! Qlogic iSCSI HBA

Question

Hey guys, I have a Qlogic dual port iSCSI HBA install on Win2003 64-bit. I have the drivers installed, SANSurfer, Navi server manager to register the host with storage, and MS initiator. Is all of that needed? I ask because as soon as I install PP the server hangs at reboot on the windows splash screen. It almost seems like the MS initiator is stomping on the powerpath install. I have tried to remove PowerPath and disconnect the HBAs and install it again. As soon as I plug in the HBAs and reboot the server hangs at the splash screen. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah I tried SP1 as well and ran the PP uninstall command line utility in between. Do I need the MS initiator installed with the Qlogic card? I see conenction info in the MS initiator if I open it up and I didn't put it there.

PowerPath
