Yes LUSE & CVS Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes NOTE: For the P9500 when connected to external storage devices, HP recommends using OPEN-V as the emulation the array makes visible to the host. This allows external storage LDEVs to be configured without losing data. Using any other emulation may cause data loss - HP StorageWorks P9000 | HP StorageWorks P9000 Configuration Guide: VMware (AV400 - Page 22
