B Disk array supported emulations This appendix provides information about supported emulations and device type specifications. Some parameters may not be relevant to your array. Consult your HP representative for information about supported configurations for your system. Supported emulations HP recommends using OPEN-V as the emulation for better performance and features that may not be supported with the legacy emulations (OPEN-[389LE]).

This allows external storage LDEVs to be configured without losing data. Using any other emulation may cause data loss in the external storage LUNs. XP Disk Array Configuration Guide for Linux 29
