At my company we use Storage Foundation extensively for managing disks in SQL Server cluster.  We are in the process of evaluating Windows Server 2008 R2 on an HP Proliant DL380 G6 server.  As a volume license customer with Microsoft with Software Assurance, we have access to the full GA version of Windows Server 2008 R2, and not a beta or release candidate.

However, when I try to install SFW 5.1 on Win2K8 R2, I fail with the following errors at the Validation screen:

Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 for Windows (Client Components)

    OS error 
    Operating system not supported.

    Operating system requirements:
    Windows XP Professional
    Windows 2003 Server
    Windows Vista
    Windows Server 2008

    Operating system installed:
    Unknown Operating System, with Service Pack 0

Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 for Windows (Server Components)

    OS error 
    Operating system not supported.

    Operating system requirements:
    Windows Server 2008, with Service Pack 0
    Windows Server 2008 Server Core Edition , with Service Pack 0
    Windows 2003 Server, with Service Pack 1

    Operating system installed:
    Unknown Operating System, with Service Pack 0

Clearly the problem is that 5.1 isn't recent enough to detect 2008 R2.  Is there a hotfix or workaround or beta release that I could use to make this installation succeed?  We would like to perform our load tests by the end of the week if at all possible.  Please let me know if there are any options.

Thanks,
