System Requirements

The user should examine existing data exchange needs carefully, especially the desired number of
Data Exchange volumes to be installed and configured, prior to the storage system configuration. This
is due to the possible need to reconfigure and reformat entire array groups, depending on the
microcode level of the storage system.
The system requirements for Data Exchange are:
• Data Exchange software for the applicable open-system platforms. This revision of the HP Storage-
Works Data Exchange Software User s Guide covers Data Exchange software versions 01-XX-6x
and later. For information on earlier versions, see the previous revisions of this document.
• Data Exchange supports files larger than 2 GB.
• When installing/uninstalling Data Exchange (for 32/64-bit), follow the procedure presented
in this chapter. For 64-bit installation, the Data Exchange program must be version 01–XX–59
or later.
• Storage systems:
• FXmto: The storage systems must be configured with -B and/or -A Data Exchange volumes.
• FXotm: The storage systems must be configured with -C and/or -A Data Exchange volumes.
• FXoto: The user can format OPEN-x LUs as FXoto volumes or use -C Data Exchange volumes.
