* ASM does not support SQL Server 2008 databases that utilize FILESTREAM data type storage.
ASM does not support Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). When entering or configuring IP address
settings using ASM, use Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses.
In order to use some Automated Storage Manager features, your HP Storage System must have
supporting software installed. Microsoft iSCSI Software target is preinstalled. HP Data Protector Express
is not preinstalled. For more information about Data Protector Express, see the X1000 Network Storage
System QuickSpecs at

Using ASM with HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring software
As of ASM version 4.0, HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring (SWSM) software is no longer integrated
directly with ASM. For more information about using SWSM with HP StorageWorks X1000 Network
Storage Systems, go to
Under Related information, click White papers.
Support for LUNs over 2TB in size
ASM supports the provisioning of LUNs over 2TB in size on systems running Windows Storage Server
2003 and Windows Storage Server 2008 and greater. ASM uses GUID Partition Table (GPT) partitions
to enable this new feature. All storage that is provisioned using ASM now uses GPT partitions by
default.
Limitations
•
Existing Master Boot Record (MBR) LUNs cannot be grown beyond 2TB. This includes local volumes
and iSCSI volumes.
•
iSCSI LUN volumes greater than 2TB are supported only if the iSCSI Target is running a minimum
of iSCSI Target version 3.2.
•
The maximum size allowed for a LUN is 256TB.
