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.

Failback preference settings for the HSV controllers are specific to the operating system. For operating

system failback information, see the HP StorageWorks 4000/6000/8000 Enterprise Virtual Array

user guide.

Important notes

EVA configuration best practices

Although the EVA4000/6000/8000 is designed to work in a wide range of configurations, some of the

configuration options can influence performance, capacity, or availability. If you have the necessary

information, you can manage the configuration to optimize its attributes for a specific application. The

configuration options include:

•Number of disk groups

•Type of disk group

•Type and number of disks in a disk group

•Vraid levels (0, 1, and 5)

•Disk failure protection level (none, single, and double)

•Cache settings
