HP recommends that you read this information thoroughly. Update recommendation Critical Enhancements XCS 09534000 contains the following functionality: • EVA management software support-HP Command View EVA 9.1 or later (both server-based management and array-based management) is supported with XCS 09534000. However, HP strongly recommends that you use HP Command View EVA 9.2.1. The array-based management version is only supported on the EVA4400, and is installed on the management module in the controller enclosure, which reduces the need for a management server. (A management server is still required for HP Continuous Access EVA support and certain other management tasks.) Without a management server in a direct connect environment, this allows for an additional Fibre Channel port, per controller, that you can use to directly connect to a Windows, HP-UX, or Linux application server. For more information, see the HP StorageWorks Command View EVA 9.2 release notes and HP StorageWorks Command View EVA 9.2.1 release notes. • Replication software support-HP Replication Solutions Manager 5.0 or later is supported with XCS 09534000. HP Replication Solutions Manager is an optional interface that offers enhanced management of local and remote replication and is offered at no charge. It includes the user interface for HP Business Copy EVA and HP Continuous Access EVA. For more information, see the HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager 5.1 release notes. NOTE: HP Business Copy EVA and HP Continuous Access EVA are optional replication features. You must purchase a license to use these features. See the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference for more information about local and remote replication support. • Management module software support-Versions 0001.4000 and 0001.4100 are supported with XCS 09534000. The management module applies to the EVA4400 only. HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array release notes (XCS 09534000) 3
