Re: Maximum disks per path
The 256 lun limitation is no longer strictly true. The limit depends on your O/S version, Driver versions, Host Bus Adapter type, other Host configurations and possibly your Symmetrix Code Level. I would suggest that you speak to your HP and EMC technical resources for specific answers for your configuration.
The opinions expressed herein are my own and not necessarily those of my employer.

Re: Maximum disks per path
Quoted from the sales config guide:
"There are a number of factors that lead to LUN count maximums. The device itself can have limitations, the adapter/driver pair can have limitations and the Server itself can have limitations. There are tested limits, theoretical limits and physical limits. The numbers stated in the chart below deal with th edevice limits and the driver/adapter limits. The HP-UX Operating System supports 1024 active hardware paths concurrently (i.e. LUNs that are opened). The non-active hardware paths are not counted (i.e. alternate paths are not counted regardless of the number of alternate paths)....
The hardware paths to LUNs per HBA on the systems is 512 for non-HA environment and 320 for a HA environment (MC/ServiceGuard, ServiceGuard OPS)."
"The XP512 supports 256 LUNs/port, however the NT servers can ONLY support a maximum of 26 drive letters. Clustered NT servers support 8 shared LUNs per cluster."
