Required patches

This release was tested with the current Sun Solaris patches installed. The latest patch information is

available on the Sun web site:

http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=tous

CAUTION:

You must install the required patches. Your system will not function properly without them.

Switch support

This release supports the Fibre Channel (FC) switches and firmware versions listed in the HP StorageWorks

SAN design reference guide, which you can download from the HP StorageWorks web site:

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html

NOTE:

HP recommends that you

not

mix switch firmware versions in a SAN. It is a best practice to uniformly

upgrade all switches in the SAN.

Multiple-path support

A Sun Solaris system with EVA4000/6000/8000 storage requires the installation of either Sun Solaris

MPxIO or VERITAS VxVM/DMP multipathing software on each host to achieve high-availability, multipath

capability.

Sun Solaris MPxIO and VERITAS VxVM/DMP multipathing software require two FC adapters (FCAs)

connected to both controllers.

Single-path support

Solaris servers require VERITAS Volume Manager to support single-path mode.

NOTE:

Do not use single-path mode in mission-critical environments.

condition before codeload is complete. HP recommends that you always upgrade the multipathing

software at an off-peak time.
