Enhancements

The following are major enhancements included in this release:

•This release includes support for EVA3000/5000 controller software VCS 4.100. For details about

VCS 4.100, see HP StorageWorks 3000/5000 Enterprise Virtual Array release notes (VCS 4.100).

NOTE:

You must have VCS 3.028 installed before upgrading to VCS 4.00x or later. HP recommends that

you do a full system backup before an HP service representative performs the migrating procedure.

Prerequisites

Multipathing support

A Sun Solaris system with EVA3000/5000 storage requires the installation of either Sun Solaris

MPxIO/Multipathing or VERITAS VxVM/DMP multipathing software on each host to achieve

high-availability, multipath capability. Sun Solaris MPxIO/Multipathing and VERITAS VxVM/DMP

multipathing software require at least one FCA connected to both controllers. VERITAS VxVM/DMP can

require installation of an array support library in order to recognize the arrays. For more information, see

the HP StorageWorks MPxIO for Sun Solaris application notes or the HP StorageWorks EVA3000/5000

Enterprise Virtual Array hardware conﬁguration guide.

VCS 3.028 to VCS 4.00x migration

The Active/Active failover feature in VCS 4.00x impacts host conﬁgurations. Contact your HP service

representative to conﬁgure your system and perform the migration procedure.

Compatibility/interoperability

This release provides full support for all previous EVA controller software used in an existing SAN

conﬁguration.

Required patches

This release of VCS has been qualiﬁed with Sun Solaris patches installed. The latest patch information

canbefoundintheSecurePathforSunSolarisspeciﬁcations, available on the following website:

http://h18066.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/enterprise/speciﬁcation.html

CAUTION:

You must install the required patches. Your system may not function properly without them.

Switch support

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

SAN design reference guide, available for download on the HP support website:

Under storage,clickStorage Networking, and then select HP StorageWorks SAN under HP StorageWorks

SAN Solutions.

NOTE:

HP recommends that you

not

Avoiding problemsituations

The following sections describe problems that may arise and their solutions.

Conﬁguring different multipathing solutions

HP strongly recommends that you not conﬁgure storage systems with different multipathing software on

the same FCA. Use separate FCAs for different multipathing solutions.

Changing comments on a disk enclosure

Use HP Command View EVA to change comments on a disk enclosure. If you try to change a disk

enclosure comment using SSSU, the following error message appears:

Error: Invalid Operation
