What do you mean by F100? Are you talking about the MSA20 enclosure by any chance?

Generally you should be fine with your config - everything is supported according to the QuickSpec.

However you may find this comments useful:

"The MSA1000 for HP-UX supports dual active/active controller or single controller configurations (Active/passive not supported). HP-UX support is of a homogeneous nature. HP-UX single controller support is enabled with the standard firmware that ships with the MSA1000. HP-UX implemented with dual active controllers requires use of firmware available through a free download off the MSA1500 web site.


ACU/CLI (Command Line Interface) is used for configuration and Event Monitoring Service (EMS) for monitoring.

Root/Boot/Dump/Swap/Install is also supported.

PV Links is supported for multi (HBA) path / single controller (2 HBAs) and dual/active controller configurations.

Fabric and direct connect are supported

HP-UX 11.11 & 11.23, PA-RISC and Itanium"
