Supported configurations

Supported configurations are described in the Enterprise Virtual Array QuickSpecs, available at the

following web site:

http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/arraysystems.html

The extended interoperability of the heterogeneous Storage Area Network (SAN) allows you to mix

several types of HP StorageWorks storage systems. The HP StorageWorks SAN design reference guide is

a detailed guide for SAN configurations and is available at the following web site:

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html

4000/6000/8000 Enterprise Virtual Array connectivity installation and reference guide.

NOTE:

Table 1 contains current minimum-level operating system specifications at the time of this release. Some

component versions may change due to revision. For the latest information, see the following HP web

Switch support

This release supports the Fibre Channel (FC) switches and firmware versions listed in the HP

StorageWorks SAN design reference guide, which can be downloaded from the following HP web site:

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html

NOTE:

HP recommends that you do not mix switch firmware versions in your SAN. It is considered a best

practice to uniformly upgrade all switches in the SAN.

Multiple-path support

Novell NetWare with EVA4000/6000/8000 requires the installation of Novell NetWare native MPIO

on each host to achieve high-availability, multiple-path capability.

Single-path support

Novell NetWare servers require a single Fibre Channel adapter (FCA) to support single-path mode.

NOTE:

Single-path mode should not be used in mission-critical environments.

Server support

AllNovellN

etWare certified servers are supported.

HBA drivers

Command View EVA in their respective release notes.

Failover/failback

Failback preference settings for the Hierarchical Storage Virtual (HSV) controllers are specific to the

operating system. See the HP StorageWorks OS connectivity for the Enterprise Virtual Array installation

and reference guide for more information.

web site:

4000/6000/8000 Enterprise Virtual Array connectivity 5.0D for Novell NetWare release notes 5

Avoiding problemsituations

The following sections describe problems that may arise and their solutions.

Known problems

You can find information about problems specific to the EVA and Command View EVA in their respective

release notes.

Using the proper service pack with the SSSU

Ensure that the required service pack is installed if you are using sssunlm.nlm with Novell NetWare.

Otherwise, a critical failure occurs on the second run. See Table 1 for a list of Novell NetWare service

packs.

Using snapshot or snapclone

When you create a snapshot or a snapclone with Novell NetWare, you must present the snapshot or

snapclone to a host other than the host from which it was created. You cannot access a snapshot or

snapclone from the same host from which it was created.

For example, suppose you have a unit presented on NetWare Host A and you make a snapshot or

snapclone of it. If you present this new unit to the same host (Host A), NetWare perceives a conflict.

Because the new unit is identical to an existing unit, the host assumes that the two units are a broken

software mirrorset. NetWare deactivates both devices and informs you that there is a possible broken

mirrorset. To access the new unit, present it to a different host from which the snapshot or snapclone

was created.

You may also choose to present the snapshot or snapclone to a host at a later time, or not at all.
