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. Failover/failback Failback preference settings for the HSV controllers are specific to the operating system. For operating system failback information, see the HP StorageWorks 4000/6000/8000 Enterprise Virtual Array user guide. FCA support Table 2 lists the supported FCAs and the required firmware versions.
