In order for Data Protector to recognise all supported devices please make sure that you have the latest Data Protector SCSITab file:
The SCSITab files are available at the following location: http://www.hp.com/support/manuals/. Please select on the left side “Download Drivers and
Software”. Select then “Storage Software” and the appropriate Data Protection version thereafter. Then you can select “Cross operating system (BIOS,
Firmware, Diagnostics, etc.)”.
There are two matrices that provide the latest Data Protector 5.5 support for storage devices.
The first matrix is specific to Data Protector 5.5 compatibility with complete Hewlett-Packard Storage Area Network (SAN) environments. Every SAN
environment listed within this matrix has been fully tested and is therefore highly recommended for High Availability and Mission Critical Environments.
These solutions provide customers ‘One–Stop shopping’ and support for their SAN/FC environments with HP-UX, Windows, Tru64, OpenVMS, Linux,
Netware, Solaris and AIX:
HP Enterprise Business Solutions Compatibility Matrix (select EBS Compatibility Matrix)
The second matrix (shown below within this document) provides a concise list of both media technology and backup devices from all manufactures and
vendors that are certified and supported with Data Protector 5.5. All media technologies and devices listed as supported with HP-UX, Windows, Tru64,
OpenVMS, Linux, Netware, Solaris and AIX, are supported in both FC/SAN environments and in a direct SCSI-to-SCSI connection. Support listed for SNI
Unix, SCO Unix and MPE is valid only for SCSI-to-SCSI connections:
Please Note: The HP Enterprise Business Solution Compatibility Matrix is not the definitive list of SAN environments supported by Data Protector. These
environments are those that have been fully tested and therefore are highly recommended. All media technologies and devices listed as supported with HP-
UX, Windows, AIX, Tru64, Linux, Netware, OpenVMS and Solaris within the matrix below are supported in a SAN environment. The SAN is transparent to
Data Protector. All SAN hardware components (HBA, routers, hubs etc.) are supported with Data Protector if the hardware components within the SAN are
supported by a vendor or a solution provider.
