Notes:
(22) HP Serviceguard for Linux supports servers with single and dual core Intel Itanium 2 processors. Please ensure that the Linux distribution used
is supported on both SG/LX and the server.
(23) Both Active/Active and Active/Passive versions supported. MSA1000 and especially the MSA1500cs arrays must be configured so that no
single failure would make any shared storage unavailable. Please refer to the respective documentation on ensuring high availability storage.
(24) Supported with any HP HBA supported in the listed HP Integrity servers.
(25) For HP and Hitachi arrays, use multipath function built into HBA driver from HP.
(26) For the manuals and software for HPDM Multipath see
http://www.hp.com/go/devicemapper
. Serviceguard for Linux A.11.18 supports
Device Mapper multipathing (DM-MPIO) with HP Fibre Channel arrays with the following restrictions:
a) The HPDM Multipath tools and documentation must be used if required by array documentation. Only the distributions listed are
supported.
b) LockLUN is supported with DM-MPIO on Red Hat 5.1 and later and Red Hat 4 U5 and later with HPDMtools3.0 and later. It is not yet
supported with SLES10. If DM is used with LockLUN, it must be used for all nodes in the cluster. For LockLUN support, Serviceguard for
Linux version A.11.18.02 or later MUST be used.
c) DM-MPIO can be used for other Serviceguard for Linux shared storage with any distribution supported by the HPDM Multipath tools.
Also, DM-MPIO delivered with the distribution is supported if it is also supported by the array (HP and 3
rd
party).
d) To use the disk monitor with HPDM Multipath devices see the section
Monitoring Multipath Devices in the notes area of the HP ProLiant
and 3rd party industry standard servers section.
e) Serviceguard for Linux Extended Distance Cluster (XDC) is not supported with DM-MPIO.
(27) HP StorageWorks EVA supported with firmware v3.01 or later.
(28) Supported with Red Hat EL 4, Red Hat 5, and SLES10. PowerPath 4.3.3 and above. PowerPath may be used for multipath and it is
supported for LockLUN. If a version of PowerPath earlier than 4.5 is used, search for article "emc137801" on EMC PowerLink at
http://powerlink.emc.com
.
(29) Any restrictions related to HDS or Hitachi storage listed on
http://www.hp.com/products1/serverconnectivity/mass_storage_devices.html
apply to Serviceguard for Linux as well.
(30) Cluster nodes running SG/LX A.11.18.07 or earlier on RHEL 5.8 nodes does not support Lock Lun due to change in behavior in RHEL 5.8 on
ioctl() over partitioned disks. This has been fixed in SG/LX A.11.18.08. Please download the patch from HP Support Center.
