HPUX 11.23 query

[CGEYROTH]

According to KBRC00017301 (technical doc) various hardware isn't supported in HPUX 11v2. It mentions tachyon HBA and various other items. This server is a L2000 presently running 11.0. I was wondering if the following hardware is supported in 11iv2 as a OS upgrade is on the cards and the link isn't clear in this regard:-

A5158A - 1 Port PCI 2x Fibre Channel Adapter - ioscan reports this as HP Tachyon TL/TS Fibre Channel Mass storage adapter.
A5616A - HVD Disk Enclosure
A5277A - FC60 Enclosure - which contains fc60 controller
A5273A - Bus controller cards - access to SC10 disks

I have logged a call, but I also thought I'd ask you guys/girls.

hi,

The A5158A is supported with a minimum pdc revision.
Check this link for details/support matrix

As far as Im aware the FC60 should also be ok connected to these along with the sc10 which has the lvd drives in.

There is no support for HVD scsi though in 11i v2 though, so the HVD enclosure and any FWD interfaces you have in the l2000 would have to be replaced.
Unless you connected it through a LVD> HVD convertor, like mentioned in this link. but never used one before.
