the Application Integration Software.
NOTE:
The HP StorageWorks XP array has a limit for the number of physical devices that can be
assigned per host group and per port. This limit is dependent on the array version and can be

Software is limited to the number of devices it can manage per storage array.
NOTE:
For the HP StorageWorks EVA array, a reserved group is not necessary.
