HP XP7 Disk Array Configuration Guide (H6F56-96003)

Linux

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]).

NOTE: HP recommends using OPEN-V as the emulation the array makes visible to the host. This

allows configuration of external storage LDEVs without losing data. Using any other emulation may

cause data loss in the external storage LUNs.
