Microsoft Feature Support

Features supported under Microsoft operating systems include:

• Static LUN balancing enables the administrator to optimize I/O by assigning

specific volumes to specific paths in the storage system. If one path fails, the

system moves volumes to the path for the redundant HBA for I/O management.

• Server-based PCI Hot Plug functionality supports online HBA addition and

replacement

• Logical volume hot-add functionality supports online array expansion/extension

• ProLiant Storage Manager software and device manager extension provide

point-and-click multipath management.

• Configuration flexibility enables boot volumes for DAS solutions to reside on the

storage system.

Linux Feature Support

Features supported under Linux operating systems include:

• Static load (read-only) balancing enables the HBAs to optimize I/O with dual

paths to the same volumes in the storage system. If one HBA fails, the system

moves volumes to the path for the redundant HBA for I/O management.

• Servers maintain boot volumes and enable greater storage capacity on the storage

system.

Multiple Operating System Support

For multipath configurations with multiple operating systems, use Selective Storage

Presentation (SSP) to restrict HBAs from accessing logical volumes containing data

from a different operating system. For more information about SSP, refer to the

documentation that ships with the 4-Port Shared Storage Module.
