• HP StorageWorks EVA4000/6000/8000 • XP Series • Support is provided for updated kernels (see Table 1 Prerequisites Multiple-path support Linux with EVA storage requires the installation of StorageWorks Secure Path or Multipathing software to achieve high-availability, multipath capability. For detailed multipathing information, refer to the HP StorageWorks using the QLogic 7.xx.xx and 8.xx.xx driver for single-path or multi-path failover mode on Linux systems application note.

Codeload usage When a maximally configured system is running at maximum load, codeload functionality is not effective due to Secure Path timing constraints. The system may time-out before codeload is complete. Therefore, you should always perform VCS upgrades at an off-peak time.
