I spoke to a colleague who deals with Windows, and he tells me that there
is an option that can be set with the SP to not over-write OEM drivers,
which we use. Otherwise we found some of our HP servers with onboard RAID
cannot be booted.
So I suggest, check that out and make whoever is doing your SP1 patching
do so too.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Blocksize problem after upgrading EMC powerpath ( UPDATE)
I have tried, but it seems that the emulex driver detects that SP1 is
installed and then create the emulexhbaapi.dll in system32. I'm also
afraid
that the next windows update will overwrite hbaapi.dll if isn't the
microsoft
one.

Michael
