HP 3000 HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference (5697-0145, - Page 34

6.2 Supported local replication feature by controller software version Local replication features depend on the controller software version. An HP P6000 Business Copy license is required to use these features. When using one of the P6000 software user interfaces or command line interfaces, if the selected resource does not support an action, it will not be available in either the user interface or the command line interface. For example, in HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager, if you try to create a container on an array that does not support containers, the New Container action will not work. Controller software version Feature VCS 3.1xx VCS 4.1xx XCS 6.2xx XCS 095xx000 XCS 095xx000 XCS 10000000 XCS 10000000 XCS 10000000 (EVA4400) (EVA6400/8400) (EVA4400) (EVA6400/8400) (P6300/P6500 EVA) Direct connect Not supported in HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager environments, except with certain restrictions for Windows hosts. Specifically, you cannot mount snapshots or snapclones on a Windows host that is running the HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager host agent and is directly attached to an array running XCS controller software. Boot from SAN If the operating system supports Boot from SAN, replication of a point-in-time copy of the boot volume (snapshot, snapclone, or mirrorclone) is supported.
