• Zoning is required when NetWare is used in a heterogeneous SAN with other operating systems.
• Supports NetWare Cluster Services. For specific version support, contact an HP storage representative.
• Supports multipathing high-availability configuration in multiple fabrics or in a single fabric with zoned
paths.
All supported
• Supports boot from SAN. For more information, see “XP and VA SAN boot support” on page 268.
• EVA4000/4100/6000/6100/8000/8100 with NetWare Clusters supports up to the maximum number

• Zoning is required when NetWare is used in a heterogeneous SAN with other operating systems.
• Supports active/active or active/passive failover mode.
• Multipathing: Requires Secure Path for active/passive failover and NetWare MPIO for active/active
failover when configured with two or more paths. Failover configurations support clusters with a maximum
of 16 nodes.
• Supports connection of single HBA servers.
• For HP Continuous Access EVA configuration information, see “HP Continuous Access EVA SAN integ-
ration” on page 254.
