about supported emulations and device type specifications. Some parameters might not be relevant to your array. Consult your HP representative for information about supported configurations for your system. Supported emulations HP recommends using OPEN-V as the emulation for better performance and - HP StorageWorks P9000 | HP StorageWorks P9000 Configuration Guide: OpenVMS (AV40 - Page 26
