Fibre Channel interface The XP48, XP128, XP512, and XP1024 disk arrays support these 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps Fibre Channel interfaces: • , this guide uses the term "SCSI disk" because disk array devices are defined to the host as SCSI disks. Device emulation types The disk arrays support the following - HP XP1024 | HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: - Page 14
To use RAID Manager with BC or CA, you must use Command View or LUN Configuration Manager to designate at least one LDEV as a command device. Refer to the Command View or LUN Configuration Manager user guide for information about how to designate a command device. 12 HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP - HP XP1024 | HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: - Page 15
