NOTE:
For the SVS 200, and 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 configuration of external storage LDEVs without losing data. Using any
other emulation may cause data loss in the external storage LUNs.
