Attachment requirements for HP 9000 and HP Integrity servers

You must be aware of the requirements for attaching the Lenovo Storage V7000 system to HP 9000 and HP Integrity servers.

You must meet the following requirements before you can attach the Lenovo Storage V7000 system 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 Lenovo Storage V7000 system command-line interface or the management GUI to set this attribute.
  • The Lenovo Storage V7000system supports HP-UX version 11.31 September 2007 (and later 0803) releases. Hosts that attach to the Lenovo Storage V7000 system 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.
    Note: An RPQ is required if you are using a version earlier than the HP-UX 11.31 September 2007 release.
  • Ensure that you have the documentation for your HP system and the installation information for your IBM hardware.
  • Ensure that you have installed the correct operating systems and version levels on your host.
