Enhancements This release includes the following enhancements: • Support for EVA3000/5000 controller software 3.110 • Support for the latest Emulex and QLogic drivers NOTE: This release, which includes Emulex driver 5.10a10 and QLogic driver 9.0.0.13, does not support the configuration where a single Windows host has access to an EVA and an MA (HSG80) array simultaneously. The HBA revisions must remain at 4.82a16 for Emulex drivers or 8.2.0.73 for QLogic drivers. Prerequisites Multiple-path support Windows with EVA storage requires the installation of HP StorageWorks Secure Path on each host to achieve high-availability, multipath capability. Single-path support Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 32-bit and 64-bit servers require a single Fibre Channel Adapter (FCA) to support single-path mode. NOTE: Single-path mode should not be used in mission-critical environments. Compatibility/Interoperability Switch support This release supports the Fibre Channel (FC) switches and firmware versions listed in the HP StorageWorks SAN design reference guide, available for download on the HP support website: http://www.hp.com/support/manuals Under storage, click Storage Networking, and then select HP StorageWorks SAN under HP StorageWorks SAN Solutions. NOTE: HP recommends that you do not mix switch firmware versions in your SAN. It is considered a best practice to uniformly upgrade all switches in the SAN. Server support Windows supports the following servers: • AMD Opteron-based ProLiant servers HP StorageWorks 3000/5000 Enterprise Virtual Array connectivity 3.1A for Windows release notes 9
