Compatibility/Interoperability

EVA compatibility

Some component versions may change due to revision. For the latest information, see the HP storage

web site:

http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/index.html

Switch support

This release supports the Fibre Channel (FC) switches and firmware versions listed in the HP StorageWorks

SAN design reference guide, which you can download from the HP StorageWorks web site:

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html

NOTE:

HP recommends that you

not

mix switch firmware versions in a SAN. It is a best practice to uniformly

upgrade all switches in the SAN.

Failover/failback

Failback preference settings for the HSV controllers are specific to the operating system. For operating

system failback information, see the HP StorageWorks 4000/6000/8000 Enterprise Virtual Array

user guide.

Storage System Scripting Utility for EVA

The latest version of the Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU) is available on the HP storage web site:

http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storage/software/cmdvieweva/index.html

From this web site, click Support & Drivers.

NOTE:

The SSSU cannot run from an ESX or GSX server. You must use a server running SSSU-supported guest

Virtual Machine operating software, such as Windows®or Linux.
