HP recommends host persona 13 for HP-UX 11i v3 with HP 3PAR OS 3.1.3 MU1 and later. Changing from host persona
7 to host persona 13 can be performed with the host online.
2
Use of generic persona allows the host server to run “Host Explorer” on the host. It will automatically create LUN 254
as a SCSI enclosure device for Host Explorer use.
3
Starting with HP 3PAR OS 3.1.3 MU1, host persona 2, which has asymmetric LUN unit access (ALUA), is supported.
HP Recommends host persona 2 for RHEL 5.8, RHEL 6.1, SLES 10.4 , SLES 11.3 and later with HP 3PAR OS 3.1.3 MU1
and later. Changing from host persona 1 to host persona 2 is an offline process. This change applies to hosts connecting
to the array through FC, FCoE, or iSCSI. For more details, see the HP 3PAR host OS implementation guide specific to
this OS.

HP recommends host persona 2 for RHEL 5.8, RHEL 6.1, SLES 10.4 , SLES 11,3 and later with HP 3PAR OS 3.1.3 MU1
