HP P9000 RAID Manager Installation and Configuration User Guide (T1610-96031, October 2011)

Table 10 Supported platforms: IPv4 vs. IPv6 (continued)

RAID Manager / IPv6

IPv6

IPv4

AV: Available for communicating with different platforms.

N/A: Not Applicable (Windows LH does not support IPv4 mapped IPv6).

Minimum platform versions for RAID Manager/IPv6 support:

• HP-UX: HP-UX 11.23 (PA/IA) or later

• Solaris: Solaris 8/Sparc or later, Solaris 10/x86/64 or later

• AIX: AIX 5.1 or later

• Windows: Windows 2008(LH), Windows 2003 + IPv6 Install

• Linux: Linux Kernel 2.4 (RH8.0) or later

• Tru64: Tru64 v5.1A or later. Note that v5.1A does not support the getaddrinfo() function, so this must be specified

by IP address directly.

• OpenVMS: OpenVMS 8.3 or later

Requirements and restrictions for z/Linux

In the following example, z/Linux defines the Open Volumes that are connected to FCP as /dev/sd*.

Also, the mainframe volumes (3390-xx) that are connected to FICON are defined as /dev/dasd*.

Figure 1 Example of a RAID Manager configuration on z/Linux

The restrictions for using RAID Manager with z/Linux are:

• Command device. RAID Manager uses a SCSI Path-through driver to access the command

device. As such, the command device must be connected through FCP adaptors.

• Open Volumes via FCP. You can control the Business Copy and Continuous Access Synchronous

pair operations without any restrictions.

• Mainframe (3390-9A) Volumes via FICON. You cannot control the volumes (3390-9A) that

are directly connected to FICON for Business Copy pair operations. Also, mainframe volumes

must be mapped to a CHF port to address target volumes using a command device, as shown

in Figure 1 (page 13). The mainframe volume does not have to be connected to an FCP

adaptor.
