For more information about storage system coexistence, see “Heterogeneous SAN storage system
coexistence” (page 208).
Host-based volume shadowing
HP OpenVMS servers with host-based volume shadowing are supported in a heterogeneous SAN.
Support includes configurations that use host-based volume shadowing over Fibre Channel links
with long-distance transceivers or WDM and use of B-series FC or FCIP Fastwrite, or C-series Write
Acceleration. Host-based volume shadowing is supported on the same link with the following
applications:
• HP P6000 Continuous Access
• HP P9000 (XP) Continuous Access
NOTE: SVSP does not support host-based volume shadowing.
HP Tru64 UNIX SAN rules
This section describes the SAN rules for HP Tru64 UNIX.
For current storage system support, see the SPOCK website at http://www.hp.com/storage/spock.
You must sign up for an HP Passport to enable access.
Table 88 (page 195) describes the SAN configuration rules for HP Tru64 UNIX. Table 89 (page
196) describes support for HP Tru64 UNIX storage, HBA, and multipathing coexistence.
