HP-UX Virtual Partitions Ordering and Configuration Guide (March 2011)

NOTE: EVA GL 5000/3000 with Secure Path is supported with vPars. However, the EVA GL
with Secure Path is not supported with Ignite-UX.
EVA without Secure Path EVA GLs are supported without Secure Path only under the
single path configuration. Single path is defined as 1 HBA
directly connected to 1 EVA controller. (Connection from the
HBA to a switch or SAN where both controllers can be seen
is not considered single path.) The single path configuration
is not a high availability configuration; there is no access to
the EVA if any points fail or if there is switchover for any
reason. When moving to HP-UX 11i v2, EVAs without Secure
Path is not enabled.
EVAs with Secure Path EVAs with Secure Path are supported as follows:
Secure Path 3.0d
and LaterSecure Path 3.0c
Prior to Secure
Path 3.0c

including hubs, switches, and fibre channel storage arrays, that are supported for HP-UX without
vPars are supported for HP-UX with vPars, with exceptions noted below.

J3525A (X.25) cards cannot be used with vPars on Integrity systems at this time (see JAGag33474).
You must use the firmware version that is noted in the A.03.xx section below (or a later firmware
version).
