KB 912944 removed from MS website - KB 916048 seems to replace it.

Don't waste the half hour I just did looking for this hotfix.

This hotfix is required for using the Virtual Disk Service with HP's MSA 1500 (KB 912944), but all the links on Microsoft's site are missing. The revision of Storport.sys mentioned in 912944 is 5.2.3790.2630 whereas the revision of Storport.sys mentioned in KB 916048 is 5.2.3790.2723.

912944's revision is from January 2006 and 916048's revision is from June 2006.

So, in other words, if you are going to cluster Windows boxes with SANs, install KB 916048.

Thank you for posting a link to the new STORPort driver. I have a production server that I strongly suspect is experiencing a SAN-related leak, and *both* storport.sys revisions correct leaks.

To help future searchers, my errors include "The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the pool was empty." and "insufficient non-paged memory pool for a bitmap structure".
