Re: Booting from SAN
according to the SAN Design Reference Guide (Chapter 4), booting HP-UX from an EVA is not supported. At the moment, only Windows, Tru64, OpenVMS and Linux are supported for SAN Boot from the EVA. The XP/VA arrays support HP-UX SAN boot.

Re: Booting from SAN
I had read the chapter in the SAN Design Guide, but noticed that Secure Path V3.0D for HP-UX Software Update claims to adress "EVA boot support". Am I right in thinking it does not address v11.23 of HP-UX.

James

Re: Booting from SAN
I should be used to that.... several HP documents saying different things. I usually take the SAN Design Guide as "Gospel", but the release notes for SecurePath 3.0D for HP-UX and VCS 3.020 for the EVA specifically state SAN boot support for HP-UX introduced.
I'm not too well versed in HP-UX, so I couldn't tell you exaclty what versions are supported. I asked one of my colleagues and he says it should work. I suspect you'll need to upgrade your EVA firmware to 3.020 (if you haven't already), the platform kit to 3.0E and your SecurePath version to 3.0D.
Your best bet is to contact HP about the VCS upgrade - you should be entitled to free VCS upgrades. You can then ask them whether your version of HP-UX supports SAN boot. (11.00, 11i v1 and v2 are mentioned in the platform kit release notes)

Stephen
