HP OpenVMS SAN rules This section describes the SAN rules for HP OpenVMS. For current storage system support, see the SPOCK website at http://www.hp.com/storage/spock. You must sign up for an HP Passport to enable access. Table 98 describes the SAN configuration rules for HP OpenVMS. Table 99 describes support for HP OpenVMS multipathing coexistence. Table 98 HP OpenVMS SAN configuration rules Storage systems1 All supported OpenVMS SAN rules • Zoning is required when OpenVMS is used in a heterogeneous SAN with other operating systems. • Supports OpenVMS Clusters. • Supports active/active and active/passive failover mode. A multipathing driver is embedded in the operating system. • Supports boot from SAN. For more information, see "EVA SAN boot support" on page 256 and "XP and VA SAN boot support" on page 268. • Supports multipathing high-availability configuration in multiple fabrics or in a single fabric with zoned paths. EVA3000 EVA4000 EVA4100 EVA4400 EVA5000 EVA6000 EVA6100 EVA6400 EVA8000 EVA8100 EVA8400 • For HP Continuous Access EVA configuration information, see "HP Continuous Access EVA SAN integration" on page 254. MSA2000fc G2 (MSA2300fc) • Host name profile must be set to OpenVMS. • OpenVMS uid must be set on all volumes mapped to a OpenVMS host. • LUN ID 0 is not available for OpenVMS hosts. MSA1000 • Requires a dedicated MSA1000. • Supports standalone servers or clusters with a maximum of 8 nodes. • Contact an HP storage representative for required operating system patches. 1Unlisted but supported storage systems have no additional SAN configuration restrictions.
