Required patches

This release of VCS has been qualified with Sun Solaris patches installed. The latest patch information

can be found in the Secure Path for Sun Solaris specifications, available on the following web site:

ttp://h18066.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/enterprise/specification.html

CAUTION:

You must install the required patches. Your system will not function properly without them.

HP-UX 11iV2.0, has no required patches.

Switch support

This release supports the Fibre Channel (FC) switches and firmware versions listed in the HP StorageWorks

SAN design reference guide, which you can download from the HP StorageWorks web site:

ttp://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html

NOTE:

HP recommends that you

not

mix switch firmware versions in your storage area network (SAN). It is a

best practice to uniformly upgrade all switches in the SAN.

Multiple-path support

In a multipath environment, a Sun Solaris system with EVA storage requires the installation of Sun MPxIO

software on each host system to achieve high-availability, multipath capability.

For more information about multipath options, see the HP multi-path web site:

ttp://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/sanworks/multipathoptions/index.html

Operating constraints

You can find information about operating constraints specific to the EVA firmware and HP StorageWorks

Command View EVA (Command View EVA) in their respective release notes.
