An important note on third-party mass storage
HP only tests HP mass storage devices to verify that they meet HP Serviceguard Solutions’ high availability requirements, therefore full support is provided for
these devices only. The sole exception to this is EMC Symmetrix disk arrays. All mass storage devices listed on this web page are fully supported (with noted
exceptions where appropriate) for use with Serviceguard.
Some third party mass storage has been tested for basic functionality with HP Serviceguard, and these devices can be supported for use in
Serviceguard clusters if an allowance is granted for the configuration by HP. These devices are listed in the Third Party Storage
Interoperability matrix at: http://www.hp.com/products1/unixserverconnectivity/mass_storage_devices.html. See the details at the bottom of that web page for
information on how to request an allowance.
There you will find a matrix of third party mass storage devices supported on HP-UX, which also indicates whether or not the device is supported for HP
Serviceguard. Please note that the mass storage devices listed as supported with HP Serviceguard on this web page are not fully supported in that HP has not fully
tested them and cannot guarantee that they meet all of HP Serviceguard availability requirements. For support
of a cluster with these third party mass storage devices, the third party device vendors, rather than HP, will take the lead in the support of their mass storage
devices with HP Serviceguard.
If you wish to obtain support for a mass storage device listed in the Third Party Storage Interoperability matrix, please contact your HP representative and request
to have an allowance for support of the device.
