installed on your storage array controllers. To obtain this software and

firmware, contact your Engenio representative.

StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) storage arrays, a supported

version of the HP StorageWorks Scripting System Utility (SSSU) must be

installed on all servers in the cluster. Also, a supported version of

CommandView EVA software must be installed on your Management

Appliance. Be sure that your versions of SSSU and CommandView EVA

are consistent. The SSSU utility must be renamed to %Program

your Hewlett-Packard representative.

communications among the matrix servers.

• The fencing method that you want to use (either FibreChannel switch-
