Bug 15700904
Issue: If the MegaRAID Storage Manager (MSM) software is installed on the system, and the MSM software services are running, you cannot perform hotplug remove and insert operations on the HBA. When attempting to perform such an operation, a popup window is displayed stating that the HBA card is busy and that you must close the program that is accessing the card.
Workaround: Use the Task Manager application to stop the following MSM software services:
MSMFramework
MegaMontiorSrv
After you have stopped these services, you can perform HBA card hotplug operations. You can restart the MSM software services after the hotplug operations are complete.
