2
EVA4100/6100/8100 requires XCS firmware 6.110 minimum.
3
Connection to a common server with different HBAs requires separate HBA zones for XP, VA, and EVA.
4
AIX 5.3 or P5 server support requires Secure Path 2.0d SP3.
5
EVA4400/6400/8400 requires MPIO 1.0.4.1
6
Secure Path is supported with current Cambex HBAs. MPIO is supported with IBM native HBAs.
7
Antemeta is supported with IBM native HBAs.
