Experience with EVA 5000 + Solaris?

Hi,
we have a couple of EVA 5000, I'm planning to put Solars/sparc's in
front of them as well as HP-UX/pa-risc and Linux/i386(compaq) (running
large fileservers on HP-UX is a constant pain and we have a lot more
Sun than HP as fileservers so I'd like to throw away HP as a
fileserver and only run Oracle on 'em), so my questions would be:
- Anyone else running with Sun on EVA 3k or 5k?
- What kind of FC-cards do you use (Sun or HP? Third party?)
- Any experience on support from HP on Sun-problems?
- What are you using to achieve full redundancy to the EVA? (On
HP-UX we'll be using securepath, I guess the same on Linux, I
haven't seen securepath for Solaris - and I'd like to stick to
something Sun will support, VxVM?)
- Are you running Sun Cluster (or Veritas Cluster)?
- Any other comments on such a setup are welcome!
Thanks!
-Sigurd

The product you'd use on all servers in HP EVA SAN environments will be
SecurePath - Sun, HP-UX, Linux (as well as Windows).
You need to check the SAN Design guides on the HP web site for up-to-date
information on which HBAs are support on which platforms.(and the drivers
and firmware requirements).
HTH.
