8x00 Enterprise Virtual Array release notes (XCS 6.200) (5697-0024, May 2009)

• Default log size will be 132 MB even though a size of 1.9 Tb is displayed

• To have an asynchronous data replication with arrays with VCS 3.110, first the DR Group creation

must be in synchronous mode and wait for normalization to complete and then the replication

mode needs to be changed to asynchronous mode.

• Redundancy (Vraid) level for the destination member should be same as the source for XCS 6.200

and VCS 3.110

I/O issue with raw devices and Sun MPxIO multipathing

When the EVA is connected to a Sun Solaris host running Sun MPxIO Multipathing, an issue with the

MPxIO stack and the emlx driver may affect I/O with raw devices under certain conditions. To avoid

this issue, set the load balancing policy to none when using raw device access.
