Zoning is required when Solaris is used in a heterogeneous SAN with other operating systems.
Supports Veritas Cluster Server, Sun Cluster, and PRIMECLUSTER. Contact an HP storage
nl
representative for version and storage system support. Not all storage system types are supported
on all cluster solutions.
Each cluster must be in its own zone.
Supports connection of single HBA servers.
Supports multipathing high-availability configuration implemented in multiple fabrics or in a single
fabric with zoned paths.
Requires a multipathing driver for active/active or active/passive failover with two or more paths.
Zoning is required when Sun Solaris is used in a heterogeneous SAN with other operating systems.
Single path is not supported. MPxIO is required.
Retry count must be set to 10; entry in /kernel/drv/sd.conf must be set as follows:
SD-config-list="HP MSA","retries-timeout: 10"
Note: There should be six spaces between "HP" and "MSA."
Supports boot from SAN. For more information, see
and VA SAN boot support" on page 268.
Requires MPxIO, Veritas Volume Manager DMP, or HDLM multipathing driver. For version support,
contact an HP storage representative. See
For HP Continuous Access EVA configuration information, see
