Prerequisites Multipathing support A Sun Solaris system with EVA3000/5000 storage requires the installation of either Sun Solaris MPxIO/Multipathing or VERITAS VxVM/DMP multipathing software on each host to achieve high-availability, multipath capability. Sun Solaris MPxIO/Multipathing and VERITAS VxVM/DMP multipathing software require at least one FCA connected to both controllers. VERITAS VxVM/DMP can require installation of an array support library in order to recognize the arrays. For more information, see the HP StorageWorks MPxIO for Sun Solaris application notes or the HP StorageWorks EVA3000/5000 Enterprise Virtual Array hardware configuration guide. 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.

Prerequisites
Multipathing support
A Sun Solaris system with EVA3000/5000 storage requires the installation of either Sun Solaris
MPxIO/Multipathing or VERITAS VxVM/DMP multipathing software on each host to achieve
high-availability, multipath capability. Sun Solaris MPxIO/Multipathing and VERITAS VxVM/DMP
multipathing software require at least one FCA connected to both controllers. VERITAS VxVM/DMP can
require installation of an array support library in order to recognize the arrays. For more information, see
the
HP StorageWorks MPxIO for Sun Solaris application notes
or the
HP StorageWorks EVA3000/5000
Enterprise Virtual Array hardware con
guration guide
.
VCS 3.028 to VCS 4.00x migration
The Active/Active failover feature in VCS 4.00x impacts host con
gurations. Contact your HP service
representative to con
gure 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
con
guration.
