Hardware and Software Support
31HSG80 Enterprise Modular Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel Solution Software V8.8 for IBM
AIX Release Notes
Notes:
■ Two driver types can be installed on AIX servers configured with the HBAs
— single-path and multi-path. Both driver types work with the PC1000F and
PC2000LC HBAs. However, both driver types cannot coexist on the same
server.
■ For P-Series servers, some restrictions apply. Refer to “PCI Hot Addition of
HBAs Not Supported” on page 39, and “HBA Driver Does Not Support
Extended Error Handling (EEH) on P690” on page 39, for details.
■ HP recommends that IBM AIX be updated with the latest patch from the IBM
web site, available at
http://www.ibm.com/support/us/
■ HP also recommends that you ensure the following trace file set is installed
