HP StorageWorks Storage System Scripting Utility The latest version of the Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU) is available on the software downloads HP website: http://www.hp.com/support/downloads Under storage, click Storage Software, and then select HP StorageWorks Command View EVA under Storage Device Management Software. Select the version of the HP StorageWorks Command View EVA. Host considerations This section contains information and important reminders about the host server. PCI hot swapping of FCAs not supported Hot swapping is defined as replacing one fibre channel adapter (FCA) with an identical FCA in the same PCI slot while the system is running. This function is not supported on P-Series systems that support hot swapping, because it hangs the server. To replace an FCA, you must first shut down the server. PCI hot addition of FCAs not supported You cannot add an FCA to an empty PCI slot while the system is running because the hot addition of the FCA fails. You must shut down the server before you add an FCA. FCA driver does not support Extended Error Handling Extended Error Handling (EEH) enables P-Series servers to isolate and shut down a faulty FCA. IBM AIX connectivity does not support EEH. HP StorageWorks 3000/5000 Enterprise Virtual Array connectivity 4.1A for IBM AIX release notes 5

swapping, because it hangs the server. To replace an FCA, you must
rst shut down the server.
PCI hot addition of FCAs not supported
You cannot add an FCA to an empty PCI slot while the system is running because the hot addition of the
FCA fails. You must shut down the server before you add an FCA.
FCA driver does not support Extended Error Handling
Extended Error Handling (EEH) enables P-Series servers to isolate and shut down a faulty FCA. IBM
AIX connectivity does not support EEH.
