HP Insight Software 6.1 Support Matrix

The storage validation feature of Insight Dynamics logical server management is supported on the following
HP StorageWorks Disk Arrays:
• MSA1000/1500
• EVA3000/5000/4x00/6x00/8x00
Fibre channel storage and switch recommendations
For fibre channel SAN solutions, HP recommends HP StorageWorks (XP, EVA, and MSA) Disk Arrays.
Specifically, the EVA4400 has been optimized for ordering and fulfillment with Insight Dynamics.
You must provide compatible connectivity to a compatible fibre channel SAN array. Customer-supplied fibre
channel switches to an external SAN must support boot from SAN and NPIV functionality.
