HostsandtheEnterpriseVirtualArray
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 Sol
aris
• 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 ho
st server, virtual disks appear the same as other storage system disk resources.
