Configuring HP StorageWorks MA and EMA systems
You can configure HP StorageWorks Modular Array (MA) and Enterprise Modular Array (EMA) systems to attach to Storwize® V3700 systems.
The HP MA and EMA systems use an HSG80 controller.
- HP MA and EMA definitions
The definitions of some storage-related terminology differs between IBM® and HP. - Configuring HP MA and EMA systems
You can configure the HP MA and EMA systems to provide functions that are compatible with the Storwize V3700 system. - Supported models of HP MA and EMA systems
Storwize V3700 systems support models of the HP MA and EMA systems. - Supported firmware levels for HP MA and EMA systems
The HP MA and EMA systems must use a firmware level that is supported by the Storwize V3700 system. - Concurrent maintenance on HP MA and EMA systems
Concurrent maintenance is the capability to complete I/O operations to an HP MA or EMA system while simultaneously completing maintenance operations on it. - Configuration interface for HP MA and EMA systems
The Command Console configuration and service utility is the configuration interface for the HP MA and EMA systems. - Sharing the HP MA or EMA between a host and a Storwize V3700
Restrictions apply when HP MA and EMA storage systems are shared between a host and the Storwize V3700 clustered system. - Switch zoning limitations for HP MA and EMA systems
Limitations apply to switch zoning for the Storwize V3700 system and the HP MA and EMA systems. - Quorum disks on HP MA and EMA systems
Managed disks (MDisks) that are presented by the HP MA or EMA are chosen by the Storwize V3700 system as quorum disks. - Advanced functions for HP MA and EMA
Some advanced functions of the HP MA and EMA are not supported by the Storwize V3700 system. - Storwize V3700 advanced functions
Volumes that are created from managed disks (MDisks) that are presented by an HSG80 controller can be used in Storwize V3700 FlashCopy® mappings. - LU creation and deletion on the HP MA and EMA
Ensure that you are familiar with the HSG80 controller container types for logical unit (LU) configuration. - Configuring settings for the HP MA and EMA
The HP StorageWorks configuration interface provides configuration settings and options that are supported with the Storwize V3700 system.
