A Linux system with EVA4000/6000/8000 storage requires the installation of HP StorageWorks multipathing software on each host to achieve high-availability, multipath capability. For detailed multipathing information, see the HP StorageWorks Using the QLogic HBA driver for single-path or multi-path failover mode on Linux systems application notes. Compatibility/Interoperability EVA compatibility Some component versions may change due to revision. For the latest information, see the HP storage web site: http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/index.html Switch support This release supports the Fibre Channel (FC) switches and firmware versions listed in the HP StorageWorks SAN design reference guide, which you can download from the HP StorageWorks web site: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html NOTE: HP recommends that you not mix switch firmware versions in a SAN. It is a best practice to uniformly upgrade all switches in the SAN. Failover/failback Failback preference settings for the HSV controllers are specific to the operating system. For operating system failback information, see the HP StorageWorks 4000/6000/8000 Enterprise Virtual Array user guide.
