RCP/LCP Continuous Access boards must be installed and used in pairs for redundancy.
Multiple ports on a single board may be used to improve performance, or to connect
to different XP series remote frames. There must always be at least four Continuous
Access links, two in each direction. The XP series cannot use a Continuous Access link
bi-directionally. Therefore, it is required to configure one pair to go in one direction
and another pair to go in the other direction. Otherwise, it is not possible to fail over
and fail back without a major Continuous Access link reconfiguration.
These release notes state the minimum version requirements for Microcode with the
Metrocluster product. Contact your HP Storage Representative to ensure you have
up-to-date and correct versions of Microcode for your HP StorageWorks Disk Array
XP environment.
