EMC and HP

[Josh Atkin]

I know you cant volumes behind an FA port to an HP host and a SUN host. Does anyone know specifically why? If so, when will HP resolve this, and how will it be resolved, in their OS?

Hello,
I don't know the Fibre channel protocol for Sun, but for hp there is to protocole:
on old FC card only FC-AL
on new card FC (A5158A in PCI) FC-AL and FC-SW.
But in you want to use FC-SW you must specify it to EMC to put the FA mode in FC-SW.
With the A5158A the topology mode in automatic FC-AL or FC-SW
