HP-UX Fibre Channel (td) Host Bus Adapter Support Matrix
H
May 8, 2007
Use the HP-UX Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Support Matrix to verify that your HBA's driver is included with your Operating Environment or to check which driver you need when adding networking or I/O HBAs. Check http://software.hp.com or http://itrc.hp.com to see if any specific patches are required for the latest version of the software that you need. You can obtain patches from http://software.hp.com.
For the latest EFI driver and firmware, go to: http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html and search using product number.
NOTE: The terms "FRU" and "CRU" in this matrix are acronyms for "Field Replaceable Unit" and "Customer Replaceable Unit". If the only option listed for a particular adapter and hardware platform combination is FRU, HP recommends the adapter be installed or replaced by a field service representative.
