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. Integrity servers support The following Integrity servers are EVA-compatible. • rx8620 • rx7620 • rx5670 • rx4640 • rx2600 • rx1600 Multiple path support Linux with EVA storage requires the installation of HP StorageWorks multipathing software on each host to achieve high-availability, multipathing capability. For detailed multipathing information, see the HP StorageWorks Using the QLogic HBA driver for single-path or multi-path failover mode on Linux systems application notes. Operating constraints You can find information about operating constraints specific to the EVA4000/6000/8000 hardware and HP StorageWorks Command View EVA in their respective release notes. Failover/failback Failback preference settings for the Hierarchical Storage Virtualization (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.
