Enhancements

This release includes the following enhancements:

4000/6000/8000 Enterprise Virtual Array connectivity 5.1C for Sun Solaris 3

Prerequisites

Required patches This release was tested with the current Sun Solaris patches installed. The latest

patch information is available on the Sun web site:

http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=tous

CAUTION:

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

Multiple-path support

A Sun Solaris system with EVA4000/6000/8000 storage requires the installation of either Sun Solaris

MPxIO or VERITAS VxVM/DMP multipathing software on each host to achieve high-availability, multipath

capability.

Sun Solaris MPxIO and VERITAS VxVM/DMP multipathing software requires two Fibre Channel adapters

(FCAs) connected to both controllers.

Single-path support

Solaris servers require VERITAS Volume Manager to support single-path mode.

NOTE:

Do not use single-path mode in mission-critical environments.

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.
