Machine may become unresponsive during driver upgrade from WinOF v4.70 or earlier. |
Upgrade requires unloading the old driver first, and this is when the machine may become unresponsive. |
There are two solutions for this issue:
|
The installation of WinOF fails with the following error message: “This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor". |
An incorrect driver version might have been installed, e.g., you are trying to install a 64-bit driver on a 32-bit machine (or vice versa). |
Use the correct driver package according to the CPU architecture. |
The installation of WinOF fails and reads as follows: "The installation cannot be done while the RDSH service is enabled, please disable it. You may re-enable it after the installation is complete." |
A known issue in windows installer when using the chain MSI feature, as described in the following link: https://rcmtech.wordpress.com/2013/08/27/server-2012-remote-desktop-session-host-installation-hangs-at-windows-installer-coordinator/ |
Follow the recommendation in the article. |
After driver upgrade, The ND state might be invalid, and the following event might appear in the event viewer: "Ndfltr: ND is in invalid state as a result of a mismatch between the ndfltr.sys driver version and mlx4_bus.sys driver version." |
Upgrading the driver while the ND applications are active will hold the current ndfltr driver loaded, and prevent the loading of the updated driver. |
Close all applications that use the ND, and restart the bus driver. |
