Switch support This release supports the Fibre Channel (FC) switches and firmware versions listed in the HP StorageWorks SAN design reference guide, which you can download from the HP StorageWorks web site: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html NOTE: HP recommends that you not mix switch firmware versions in a SAN. It is a best practice to uniformly upgrade all switches in the SAN. Multiple-path support A Sun Solaris system with EVA4000/6000/8000 storage requires the installation of either Sun Solaris MPxIO or VERITAS VxVM/DMP multipathing software on each host to achieve high-availability, multipath capability. Sun Solaris MPxIO and VERITAS VxVM/DMP multipathing software require two FC adapters (FCAs) connected to both controllers. Single-path support Solaris servers require VERITAS Volume Manager to support single-path mode. NOTE: Do not use single-path mode in mission-critical environments. 4000/6000/8000 Enterprise Virtual Array connectivity 5.1B for Sun Solaris release notes 5

HP recommends that you
not
mix switch firmware versions in a SAN. It is a best practice to uniformly
upgrade all switches in the SAN.
Multiple-path support
A Sun Solaris system with EVA4000/6000/8000 storage requires the installation of either Sun Solaris
MPxIO or VERITAS VxVM/DMP multipathing software on each host to achieve high-availability, multipath
capability.
Sun Solaris MPxIO and VERITAS VxVM/DMP multipathing software require two FC adapters (FCAs)
connected to both controllers.
Single-path support
Solaris servers require VERITAS Volume Manager to support single-path mode.
NOTE:
Do not use single-path mode in mission-critical environments.
