B Disk array supported emulations This appendix provides information about supported emulations and emulation 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 - HP XP20000/XP24000 | HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array Configuration Guide: Novell N - Page 34
on the disk array. Note 2: The devices are defined to the host as SCSI disk devices, even though the interface is Fibre Channel. Note 3: The command device (used for RAID Manager) is distinguished by -CM on the product name (for example, OPEN-3-CM, OPEN-3-CVS-CM). 34 Disk array supported emulations - HP XP20000/XP24000 | HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array Configuration Guide: Novell N - Page 35
Note 4: The device capacity can sometimes be changed by the BIOS or host adapter board. This may make actual capacity different from that listed in the table. capacity = 49 MB and n = 4: # of cylinders = 49 × 16/15 × 4 = 52.26 × 4 = 53 × 4 = 212 XP Disk Array Configuration Guide: Novell NetWare 35 - HP XP20000/XP24000 | HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array Configuration Guide: Novell N - Page 36
