Secure Path version VCS 3.110 requires the latest version of Secure Path for your operating system. The current version of Secure Path for your operating system can be found at the following website: http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/sanworks/secure-path/index.html Codeload usage When a maximally configured system is running at maximum load, Secure Path timing constraints make codeload functionality ineffective. The system may time-out before codeload is complete.
CAUTION: Persistent EVA overload may indicate an overloaded configuration and additional array host port resources may be required to match the configuration to the actual workload. Consult your local HP account or service representative for help to properly configure the EVA for your newly designed or existing configuration. High-availability environment recommendations In high-availability environments, under heavy I/O loads, you may experience I/O time-out conditions.
