The volumes in which "Dynamic optimization" or "Adaptive optimization" is applied must not be
used as the external volume of VSP; otherwise the performance of the external volume may possibly
be degraded and the operation cannot be guaranteed.
Storage system with a product name displayed as "(generic)"
The generic External Storage profile (available with 70-04-x) provides support for connecting Fibre
channel attached, external storage systems without testing them individually. It will automatically
support storage systems that conform to a subset of the standard SCSI Primary Commands. (If you
need further information, please contact the HP Technical Support). An HP representative can
perform a step-wise process to install and connect external storage. These steps (defined below)
follow a standard process to ensure that no obvious problems exist in the virtualization. Updating
a P9500 to the minimum firmware level 70-05-0x automatically installs the generic Ext Stor profile
and makes it available.
Support conditions when product name displays as “(Generic)”
When an external storage system is connected to a P9500 and is supported with the generic Ext
Stor profile, the following support conditions exist.
•
Vendor name that corresponds to the external storage system is displayed.
•
Product name is displayed as “Generic”.
NOTE: If multiple generic storage systems of the same vendor are connected, they are
displayed as a single storage system. As a result, if Disconnect External Storage Systems or
Reconnect External Storage Systems is run for generic storage systems, all the generic storage
system volumes are disconnected or reconnected. For disconnecting or reconnecting a particular
generic storage system volume, the best practice is to run the command in the external volume
unit rather than the external storage system unit.
•
Serial number is not displayed.
