11.8.3 EVA Series Firmware Requirement
The AVIO Storage Driver supports Active-Active firmware types on EVA series (3000/5000 and
4000/6000/8000). Be sure that the following firmware revision levels are met before configuring
AVIO backing stores on these arrays:
• On EVA 4000/6000/8000, all released firmware revisions support Active-Active configuration.
Therefore, no action is necessary on these arrays.
• EVA 3000/5000 arrays need minimum firmware revisions of VCS v4.004 (Active-Active
firmware).
For more information about EVA firmware upgrades, see the HP Services website: HP Services.
