Switch support
This release supports the Fibre Channel switches and firmware versions listed in the HP StorageWorks
SAN design reference guide, available on the following web site:
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html
NOTE:
HP recommends that you
upgrade all switches in the SAN.
Multiple-path support
HP-UX with EVA storage requires the installation of multipathing software on each host to achieve
high-availability, multiple-path capability.
Native multipathing functionality is now available. Secure Path for HP-UX is no longer required.
You can choose HP-UX pvLinks native multipathing solutions. For more information about pvLinks,
see the HP-UX operating system documentation.
