Ibm Aix; Supported Emulations; Emulation Specifications - HP StorageWorks P9000 Configuration Manual

IBM AIX

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]).
