You must be aware of the requirements for attaching the SAN Volume Controller to
HP 9000 and HP Integrity servers.
You must meet the following requirements before you can
attach the
SAN Volume Controller to
your host system:
- Check the LUN limitations for your host system. Ensure that enough
fibre-channel adapters are installed in the server to manage the total
LUNs that you want to attach.
Note: If you want to use more than eight
LUNs per SCSI target, you must set the type attribute to hpux when
you create the host object. You can use the SAN Volume Controller command-line
interface or the SAN Volume Controller Console to
set this attribute.
- SAN Volume Controller versions
4.2.1.4 and later support HP-UX version 11.31 September 2007 (and
later 0803) releases. Hosts that attach to SAN Volume Controller and
that have 0709 patches must also have the following patches applied:
- PHKL_37453 (esdisk)
- PHKL_37454 (esctl)
- PHCO_37483 (scsimgr)
The 0803 bundle contains these patches. The following IBM® Web site provides current interoperability
information about supported device driver and firmware levels:
- Ensure that you have the documentation for your HP system and
the IBM System
Storage SAN Volume Controller Model 2145-XXX Hardware
Installation Guide. All SAN Volume Controller publications
are available from the following Web site:
www.ibm.com/storage/support/2145
- Ensure that you have installed the correct operating systems and
version levels on your host. See the supported software levels for
the SAN Volume Controller at
the following Web site for details about the release level for your
operating system:
