Switch support
This version suppor ts the Fibre Channel switches a nd firmware versions listed in the HP Storag eWorks
SAN design reference guide which can be downloaded from this web site:

ttp://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/ documentation.html
NOTE:
HP recommends that you do not mix switch firmware versions in your SAN. It is considered a best
practice to uniformly upgrade all switches in the SAN.
Multiple-path support
Multiple-path capability is integra ted into Tru64 UNIX. Using Tru64 UNIX with EVA storage requires no
additional software to achieve high-availability, multiple-path capability.
Single-path support
A Tru64 UNIX server requires a single Fibre Channel adapter (FCA) to support single-path mode.
NOTE:
Single-path mode should not be used in mission-critical envi ronments.
