VMware GSX 3.2

VMware Workstation 5

VMware GSX and VMware Workstation software products run as an

VMware HBA drivers are embedded in the ESX system software.

Enhancements

The following are major enhancements included in this release:

•This release includes support for EVA3000/5000 controller software VCS 4.100. For details about

VCS 4.100, see HP StorageWorks 3000/5000 Enterprise Virtual Array release notes (VCS 4.100).

NOTE:

You must have VCS 3.028 installed before upgrading to VCS 4.00x or later. HP recommends that

you do a full system backup before an HP service representative performs the migrating procedure.

Prerequisites

Multiple-path support

VMware operating software includes multipath support. No additional software is required to achieve

high-availability, multipath capability.

For detailed VMware multipathing information, see the description of the vmkmultipath command in

the ESX server administrator’s guide.

NOTE:

Secure Path and other MPIO software are not supported with VMware.

For more information about multipath options, see the HP multipath website:

http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/sanworks/multipathoptions/index.html

VCS 3.028 to VCS 4.00x migration

The Active/Active failover feature in VCS 4.00x impacts host conﬁgurations. Contact your HP service

representative to conﬁgure your system and perform the migration procedure.

Compatibility/interoperability

This release provides full support for all previous EVA controller software used in an existing SAN

conﬁguration.

Host type for VMware

To ensure smooth system operation with VCS 4.00x or later, set the host type to VMware.Seethe
