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
Windows with EVA storage requires the installation of HP StorageWorks Secure Path on each host to
achieve high-availability, multiple-path capability.
Single-path support
Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 32-bit and 64-bit servers require a single Fibre Channel Adapter
(FCA) to support single-path mode.
NOTE:
Single-path mode should not be used in mission-critical environments.
Server support
Windows supports the following servers:
• AMD Opteron-based ProLiant servers
• Intel-based ProLiant X86, and ProLiant Blade servers
• Intel-based EM64T ProLiant servers and Blade servers
• HP Integrity servers
