UNIX Release Notes
Multiple Storage System Types
The extended interoperability of the heterogeneous SAN allows you to mix
several types of HP StorageWorks storage systems. HP recommends the following
configuration rules when different storage products are shared in the same SAN:
■ HSG80 ACS V8.8-1 and EVA VCS V2.x or 3.x—Use ACS Solution Software
V8.8-1 (includes SWCC V2.5) or EVA V3.0C (includes SSSU).
■ HSG80 ACS V8.6 and EVA VCS V2.x—Use ACS Solution Software V8.6 (if
SWCC V2.4 components are desired) and VCS V2.0 compatible multi-bus
software/drivers.
■ HSG80 ACS V8.6 and EVA VCS V2.x or 3.x—Use ACS Solution Software
V8.8-1 (includes SWCC V2.5) or EVA V3.0C (includes SSSU).
■ HSG80 ACS V8.7 and EVA VCS V2.x or 3.x—Use ACS Solution Software
V8.8-1 (includes SWCC V2.5) or EVA V3.0C (includes SSSU).
Note: Any multiple storage system configuration that includes EVA VCS V2.x or 3.x
requires multi-bus support.
Note: When mixing ACS and VCS based storage in the same environment, a special
Tru64 UNIX early release patch (ERP) for OS V5.1x is required. This ERP is currently
under development, but should be available at the time this Solution Software Kit is
released. Patch Kits are available at the web site
