= 0128 LUN presentationsLUNs #161 through #192 are presented to 4-node cluster
= 0008 LUN presentationsLUNs #193 through #200 are presented to single host
When all LUNs are presented to all hosts, the number of LUNs multiplied by the number of hosts
must not exceed 8,192.
Table 111 (page 225) lists the maximum number of EVA storage systems that can be configured
on a single server. There is no limit on the maximum number of EVA storage systems in a SAN.

For the supported operating system versions, see “Heterogeneous server rules” (page 165).
2
The maximum number of HBAs supported per server depends on the server model. (See the server documentation.) For Tru64 UNIX,
the maximum is 64 HBAs per server when using 5.1a (or earlier), 255 HBAs per server when using 5.1b (or later).
3
Multipath software may impose additional restrictions:
• Windows MPIO supports up to 32 paths per LUN.
• Secure Path for AIX supports up to 32 LUNs per HBA.
4
The maximum number of configurable LUNs per HBA target may be less based on performance requirements.
5
The P63xx/P65xx EVA is not supported with Tru64 UNIX.
6
VMware maximums are per VMware server, regardless of the number of guest operating systems. EVA6400/8400 is not supported
with ESX 2.5.x. The P63xx/P65xx EVA is not supported with ESX 2.5.x/3.x
7
Windows 2000 is not supported with the P63xx/P65xx EVA or EVA4400/6400/8400.
8
Windows 2012 is not supported with the EVA4100/6000/6100.
