For the latest patch information, see the Secure Path for Sun Solaris specifications at this web site: http://h18066.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/enterprise/specification.html WARNING! Do not neglect the required patches. Your system will not function properly without them. Switch support This release supports the Fibre Channel switches and firmware versions listed in the HP StorageWorks SAN design reference guide, which can be downloaded from the following 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 Sun Solaris with EVA storage requires either Sun Solaris MPxIO or Veritas VxVM/DMP multipathing software on each host to achieve high-availability, multiple-path capability. Sun Solaris MPxIO and Veritas VxVM/DMP multipathing software require two Fibre Channel Adapters (FCAs) connected to both controllers. At this time, single-path mode is supported only when Veritas Volume Manager is used.

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
Sun Solaris with EVA storage requires either Sun Solaris MPxIO or Veritas VxVM/DMP multipathing
software on each host to achieve high-availability, multiple-path capability. Sun Solaris MPxIO and
Veritas VxVM/DMP multipathing software require two Fibre Channel Adapters (FCAs) connected to both
controllers. At this time, single-path mode is supported only when Veritas Volume Manager is used.
Operating constraints
You can find information about operating constraints specific to the EVA and HP StorageWorks
Command View EVA in their respective release notes.
