B Disk Array supported emulations

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]).
