Switch support This release supports the Fibre Channel (FC) switches and firmware versions listed in the HP StorageWorks SAN design reference guide, which you can download from the HP StorageWorks website: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html NOTE: HP recommends that you not mix switch firmware versions in your storage area network (SAN). It is a best practice to uniformly upgrade all switches in the SAN.
Host considerations This section contains information and important reminders about the host server. PCI hot swapping of FCAs not supported Hot swapping is defined as replacing one fibre channel adapter (FCA) with an identical FCA in the same PCI slot while the system is running. This function is not supported on P-Series systems that support hot swapping, because it hangs the server. To replace an FCA, you must first shut down the server.
