Heterogeneous Open SAN Environment
Compaq’s heterogeneous Open SANs now support a wide range of multi-vendor
hardware platforms and operating systems in a mixed environment. This allows users
to tailor their SANs for the specific platforms and operating systems they require.
With Version 8.6-4P, Compaq storage controllers can be shared across many different
platforms and operating systems, all managed within the same SAN.
To share storage, all hosts must be multi-bus failover enabled, and they must share the
same SCSI mode.
Specific support limits and interoperability of individual platforms and operating
systems may vary, and need to be understood and considered when evaluating SAN
designs. Refer to the Compaq StorageWorks Heterogeneous Open SAN Design
Reference Guide (part number AA-RMPNC-TE) for SAN design guidance.
Additional information on DRM rules and design guidelines can be found in the
Compaq Features and Benefits of ACS 8.6P Data Replication Manager white paper
(part number 1653-1202A-WWEN), and the SANworks by Compaq Application Notes
- HSG80 ACS 8.6-4P Data Replication Manager Design Guide (part number
AA-RQ78A-TE).
