VMware This appendix provides information about supported emulations and device type 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 recommends using OPEN-V as the emulation for better performance and features that may not be supported with the legacy emulations (OPEN-[389LE]). Table 42 Supported emulations Array model Emulation Fixed Size LUSE CVS OPEN-3 Yes Yes Yes XP10000 OPEN-8 Yes Yes Yes XP12000 OPEN-9 Yes Yes Yes XP20000 OPEN-E Yes Yes Yes XP24000 OPEN-K No No No OPEN-L Yes Yes No OPEN-M No No No OPEN-V No No Yes LUSE & CVS Yes Yes Yes Yes No No No Yes NOTE: For the XP24000/XP20000/XP12000/XP10000 when connected to external storage devices, HP recommends using OPEN-V as the emulation the array makes visible to the host. This allows external storage LDEVs to be configured without losing data. Using any other emulation may cause data loss in the external storage LUNs.
