multipathoptions/index.html

Multi-pathing software for Windows

(active/passive environments

only)

Used in multi-pathing environments running

active/passive

array

controller firmware, HP MPIO Basic Failover provides basic path

failover and path recovery.

Other multipath software already present on the host may not be

compatible with HP Basic MPIO. See the MSA1500 compatibility

guide for details.

QLogic Driver for HBA Control

and Multipathing

http://h18006.www1.hp.com/

products/sanworks/

multipathoptions/index.html

Multi-pathing tool for Linux

(active/passive and active/active

environments)

Used in multi-pathing environments running either active/passive

or active/active firmware, QLogic Driver for HBA Control and

Multipathing provides multipathing support for Linux environments.

This multipathing tool is included with the QLogic HBA driver on

the MSA Support Software CD.

Emulex MultiPulse Path Failover

for Linux

www.hp.com/go/san

Multi-pathing tool for Linux

(active/active environments only)

Used in multi-pathing environments running active/active

firmware, Emulex MultiPulse provides multipathing support for

Linux environments.

MultiPulse is included with the Emulex Linux HBA driver on the

MSA Support Software CD.

Note:

Emulex MultiPulse is supported for use with Linux kernel 2.6

or later only. No support is provided or planned for earlier Linux

kernels.

Array Configuration Utility

(ACU)

Array Configuration Utility -

Command Line Interface

(ACU-CLI)

index.html

Storage configuration software

(active/passive and active/active

environments)

The Array Configuration Utility (ACU) is a server-based,

browser-accessed tool used to configure an array controller and its

storage. The ACU can be used in Windows, Linux, and NetWare

environments. (NetWare environments run the ACU directly from

the MSA Support Software CD.)

The Array Configuration Utility-Command Line Interface (ACU-CLI)

is a command line interface used to configure an array controller

and its storage. The ACU-CLI is primarily used in HP-UX

environments.

These utilities are provided on the MSA Support Software CD.
