Systems operations
This section provides high-level descriptions of compatibility, support, and
configuration for storage systems.
Compatibility and functionality
The VSP G1000, VSP G1500, and VSP F1500 storage system supports many
features and functions for the Open-systems environment, including:
• Multi-initiator I/O configurations with multiple host systems attached to
the same Fibre Channel interface
• Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) and fabric topologies, supported on
ports up to 8 Gbps
Note:
When using 16 Gbps FC front-end director, the speed is
limited to 8 Gbps.
• Command tag queuing
• Industry-standard failover and logical volume management software
• SNMP remote storage system management
The global cache feature in VSP G1000, VSP G1500, and VSP F1500 enables
any Fibre Channel port to have access to any logical unit in the storage
system. Each logical unit can be assigned to multiple Fibre Channel ports to
provide I/O path failover and load balancing (with the appropriate
middleware support, such as HGLM) without sacrificing cache coherency.
Users should plan for path failover (alternate pathing) to ensure the highest
data availability. The logical units can be mapped for access from multiple
ports or multiple target IDs. The number of connected hosts is limited only by
the number of FC ports installed and the requirement for alternate pathing
within each host. If possible, the primary path and alternate paths should be
attached to different channel cards.
Systems host platform support
The VSP G1000, VSP G1500, and VSP F1500 storage systems support most
major open-system operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Oracle
Solaris, IBM AIX, Linux, HP-UX, and VMware. For complete information about
supported operating systems, visit

. The supported platforms are documented in the
Open-
Systems Host Attachment Guide
