Linux SAN rules This section describes the SAN rules for Linux. 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 105 describes SAN rules for Red Hat Linux and SUSE Linux. Table 105 Linux SAN configuration rules Storage systems1 Linux SAN rules All supported • Supports multipathing high-availability configuration in multiple fabrics or in a single fabric with zoned paths. P2000 G3 FC MSA2000fc G2 (MSA2300fc) MSA2000fc • Zoning is required when Linux is used in a heterogeneous SAN with other operating systems. • For HBA parameter settings, see Table 117 on page 237. • Supports boot from SAN • Supports Device Mapper MSA1000 • Single controller and dual controller with active/active failover. MSA1500 • Single controller and dual controller with active/active failover. XP48 XP512 XP128 XP1024 XP10000 XP12000 XP20000 XP24000 VA7100 VA7110 VA7400 VA7410 • Zoning is required when Linux is used in a heterogeneous SAN with other operating systems. • Provides single-path support only. • Supports clusters (32-bit/64-bit). • Supports active/active or active/passives failover mode. • Supports boot from SAN. For more information, see "XP and VA SAN boot support" on page 268. EVA3000 EVA4000 EVA4100 EVA4400 EVA5000 EVA6000 EVA6100 EVA6400 EVA8000 EVA8100 EVA8400 • Zoning is required when Linux is used in a heterogeneous SAN with other operating systems. • Supports connection of single HBA servers. • Supports SteelEye Lifekeeper clusters. For specific version support, contact an HP storage nl representative. • Supports boot from SAN. For more information, see "EVA SAN boot support" on page 256. • For HP Continuous Access EVA configuration information, see "HP Continuous Access EVA SAN integration" on page 254. 1Unlisted but supported storage systems have no additional SAN configuration restrictions. For the latest support information, contact an HP storage representative. Linux multipathing coexistence support HP does not support coexistence of different multipath products on the same server. 222 Heterogeneous server rules
