S AN design reference guide, which you can download from the HP StorageWorks website:

ttp: //h18004.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html
NOTE:
HP recommends that you not mix switch firmware versions in your SAN. It is a best practice to uniformly
upgrade al
l switches in the SAN.
Multiple-path support
In a multipath environm e nt, a Windows system with EVA storage requires the installation of multipathing
software on each host system to achieve high-availability, multipath capability.
For more information about multipath options, see the HP multi-path website:

ttp: //h18006.www1.hp.com/p roducts/sanworks/multipathop tions/index.html
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:
Do not use single-path mode in mission-critical environments.
