Table 123 SVSP heterogeneous SAN storage rules (continued)

DescriptionRule number

the switch hop limits, including the host-to-local storage link, the local storage-to-remote storage

link, and the local host-to-remote storage link. For switch and fabric rules, see:

• “B-series switches and fabric rules” (page 91)

• “C-series switches and fabric rules” (page 123)

• “H-series switches and fabric rules” (page 140)

For shared access and heterogeneous platform zoning requirements, see the HP StorageWorks

SAN Virtualization Services Platform Administrator Guide supplied with the SVSP media.

SVSP is supported with 8 Gb/s, 4 Gb/s, or 2 Gb/s switch.7

SVSP supports active/passive failover and requires a minimum of two Fibre Channel HBAs and

native operating system or layered multipathing driver functionality.

Single initiator zones are recommended for ease of troubleshooting and configuration.9

Overlapping storage port zones are supported if multiple operating systems share an array port.10

All host table entries must have the operating system type parameter set (based on the operating

system accessing the assigned LUNs).

Servers that share access to the same storage LUN require special application software (such as

cluster software) to preserve data.

For information about configuring the Storage Management Appliance with storage systems in the

same SAN fabric, see “Storage management server integration” (page 248).
