SLES 11 SP and diskarray HP 3PAR 7200C over HBA adapter

SUSE Linux Enterprise Extensions SLES Hardware

Good morning,
we plan to migrate our server from HP EVA diskaarray to HP3PAR, how is it supported ? Server is HP DL380G7. We must update firmware of the server and HBA, are there any issues fo SLES 11 SP3 ? Will it starts OK ? Are there drivers for this array ?
Thanks and best regards

You should probably ask HP but I believe it will work fine. You didn’t mention which HBA’s you are using but I found this document which stats that both Qlogic and Emulex works: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:AR7bUKDCAucJ:h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display%3Fsp4ts.oid%3D5383451%26docId%3Demr_na-c02663748%26docLocale%3Den_US+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=se

Hi,
thanks for the answer, I forgot to write a HBA chip - it is Emulex:

hwinfo | grep Emulex
info.vendor = ‘Emulex Corporation’
pci.subsys_vendor = ‘Emulex Corporation’
pci.vendor = ‘Emulex Corporation’
info.vendor = ‘Emulex Corporation’
pci.subsys_vendor = ‘Emulex Corporation’
pci.vendor = ‘Emulex Corporation’

There seems to be drivers for it: https://drivers.suse.com/driver-process/pub/update/Emulex/sle11sp3/common/
