Hosts and the Enterprise Virtual Array

This section describes how the host servers fit in the overall Enterprise Virtual Array. Below is a list of the

hosts that can attach to and interact with the Enterprise Virtual Array:

Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003

Tru64 UNIX

OpenVMS

Sun Solaris

HP-UX

IBM AIX

Linux

Be sure you are running a supported version of each operating system in your SAN (see the

platform-specific release notes for details).
The hosts are components of the Enterprise Virtual Array storage systems. These host servers attach to the

storage pools of the Enterprise Virtual Array and use the virtual disks just like any other disk resource. To

the host server, virtual disks appear the same as other storage system disk resources.
