HP XP7 Configuration Guide

VMware
This appendix provides information about supported emulations and device type specifications.
Some parameters might not be relevant to your array. Consult your HP representative for information
about supported configurations for your system.
Supported emulations
HP recommends using OPEN-V as the emulation for better performance and features that may not
be supported with the legacy emulations (OPEN-[389LE]).

NOTE: HP recommends using OPEN-V as the emulation the array makes visible to the host. This
allows external storage LDEVs to be configured without losing data. Using any other emulation
may cause data loss in the external storage LUNs.
