Contact an HP storage representative for a configuration review to determine support for configurations that exceed the stated limits. Management software support The MSA2000fc and MSA2000fc G2 support target-based management interfaces, including Telnet (CLI), FTP, and a web-based interface. The web-based interface is supported with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (or later) and Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 (or later). Tape storage The following rules apply to tape storage support in a SAN with MSA2000fc or MSA2000fc G2 storage systems: • Overlapping zones are supported with disk and tape. • Common HBAs for shared disk and tape connections are supported. Shared tape connections can exist in a disk multipath environment, but there is no multipath support for tape connections because they are zoned to only one host HBA. For optimal performance, HP recommends using separate HBAs for disk and tape connections. • For a VLS, multiple heterogeneous initiators and multiple ports of the VLS device are supported in the same fabric zone. HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 1500 Before implementation, contact an HP storage representative for information about support for specific configurations, including the following elements: • Storage system firmware • HBA firmware and driver versions For additional support information, see HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 1500 cs Compatibility Guide, available on http://www.hp.com/go/msa1500cs.
