HP 3PAR StorServ 7000/10000 and VxDMP 3.5 / 4

I was wondering if anyone has experience using HP 3PAR StorServ 7000 / 10000 (V Class) with VxDMP 3.5, or 4.  It seems that these arrays are supported out of the box with 5 and 6.  In previous versions, the libvx3par ASL is available or embedded, but only supports E/F/S/T class 3PAR arrays.  

Although I chose Solaris for the OS, this is not an OS specific question.

Does anyone know of updated support information or have experiences with these integrations?  

 

Thank you!

  • Hi Graham,

    HP 3PAR StorServ 7000 / 10000 (V Class) is released far after VxDMP 3.5, or 4. So I don't think VxDMP3.5 or 4 would support it. 

    ASL is a support lib package to enable disk array with their compitable code. So you must apply a supported ASL for the disk array you used. If not so, the function would not be support officially and not guarrantee data consistency.

    So you'd better upgrade VxVM/VxDMP to 5 or 6, but pls be informed VxVM 5.0 on Solaris will be end of support at Aug. 6, 2013

  • Thank you, I know this is a far out pairing of old and new, so I was not expecting supported.  I was wondering if anyone had done it.  I know it's tough, so thank you for responding, all.
