1 About this document
As of June 2011, the product name of HP BladeSystem Matrix has been renamed to HP CloudSystem
Matrix. While some documents before June 2011 may continue to have references to the HP BladeSystem
Matrix product name, these references are interchangeable with HP CloudSystem Matrix.
This document specifies the HP BladeSystem Matrix 6.0 definition of hardware, firmware, and software.
The hardware components, the firmware versions, and the software versions listed in this document have
been tested as a solution set, and are fully supported by HP. For BladeSystem Matrix support, HP cannot
support the use of hardware or versions of firmware or software that are not part of this BladeSystem
Matrix 6.0 definition.
CAUTION: The specific firmware and software versions listed in this document provide support
for BladeSystem Matrix 6.0 and must be used together to ensure complete solution component
compatibility and full functionality, since these have been tested as a set. Using other version
levels, including later revisions of individual components, might result in operational issues.
Always refer to the latest version of this document at

The management software licenses packaged with BladeSystem Matrix provide licenses to manage ProLiant
c-Class server blades. HP BladeSystem Integrity c-Class Server Blades require separate licensing. For HP-UX
users, HP recommends purchasing HP-UX 11i v3 Virtual Server OE (VSE-OE) or HP-UX 11i v3 Data Center
OE (DC-OE) to obtain the necessary Integrity management software licenses to use with BladeSystem
Matrix. For HP-UX information, go to http://www.hp.com/go/hpux

Storage systems
SAN functionality
HP BladeSystem Matrix 6.0 supports the use of virtual and physical logical servers. Virtual logical servers
use storage from the file system of the hypervisor. Physical logical servers use storage provisioned from
the SAN for flexible movement.
HP recommends Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN) with boot-from-SAN capability (for physical
blade deployments). BladeSystem Matrix supports any Fibre Channel storage solution, which supports the
Virtual Connect environment, N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), and boot-from-SAN capability (boot volume
as a pre-presented LUN). To realize the benefits of Virtual Connect logical servers, including the ability to
move logical servers and to easily repurpose server blades associated with inactive logical servers, you
must remove or disable any local disks.
HP BladeSystem Matrix 6.0 does not support physical provisioning with the HP StorageWorks SAN
Virtualization Services Platform, which does not currently support the presentation of storage to a Virtual
Connect HBA initiator WWN that is not visible on the SAN fabric at the time of the presentation. Virtual
Connect initiator WWNs are not visible on the SAN fabric until they are applied to a server HBA which
has been powered-on.
Use of Insight Recovery 6.0 requires an EVA or XP array per site plus HP StorageWorks Continuous
Access replication software.
The storage validation feature of Insight Dynamics 6.0 logical server management is supported on the
following HP StorageWorks Disk Arrays:
• MSA1000/1500
• EVA3000/5000/4x00/6x00/8x00
Fibre Channel storage and switch recommendations
For FC SAN solutions, HP recommends HP StorageWorks (XP, EVA, and MSA) Disk Arrays. Specifically,
the EVA4400 has been optimized for ordering and fulfillment with BladeSystem Matrix.
The customer must provide compatible connectivity to a compatible FC SAN array. Customer-supplied Fibre
Channel switches to an external SAN must support boot from SAN and NPIV functionality. Refer to the hp
website (http://www.hp.com/storage/spock
Virtual Connect Fibre Channel. Simple registration is required. Following login, navigate to Other
Hardware > Virtual Connect > HP VC 8Gb 24-Port Module.
) for a list of switches and storage that are supported by

Security bulletin and alert policy for non-HP owned software components
Open source software (such as OpenSSL) or third-party software (such as Java) are sometimes included in
HP products. HP discloses that the non-HP owned software components listed in the HP Insight Dynamics
end user license agreement (EULA) are included with HP Insight Dynamics. To view the EULA, use a text
editor to open the /opt/vse/src/README file on an HP-UX CMS, or the <installation-
directory>\src\README file on a Windows CMS. (The default installation directory on a Windows
CMS is C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment, but this directory can be
changed at installation time.)
HP addresses security bulletins for the software components listed in the EULA with the same level of
support afforded HP products.
HP is committed to reducing security defects and helping you mitigate the risks associated with security
defects when they do occur. HP has a well defined process when a security defect is found that culminates
with the publication of a security bulletin. The security bulletin provides you with a high level description
of the problem and explains how to mitigate the security defect.
