Guest Srikar Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I had some issues on disk latency on Symmetrix drives. Checked with EMC and they have recommended to install Storeport hotfix on the host. My query is that when i am using a qlogic HBA card which is not using the storeport, so why i do need to install the storeport on the host.

Storport.sys is a port driver which is used by the Qlogic driver. So, yes you do need to update your storport.sys as per recommendation of your storage vendor (EMC in your case) as well as recommended by Qlogic them selves. Do you really have technical reasons not to upgrade ?
