  1. There is no HP-UX native SCSI UNMAP support. So no way to reclaim deleted blocks with the native HP-UX JFS or OnlineJFS file systems.
  2. Do not connect Pure volumes to a host or host group until the host personality has been set to HP-UX:
    
    purehost setattr --personality hpux <HOST>
  3. HP-UX 11i v3 introduces native multipathing that will allow you to take advantage of not only the failover protection, but also performance gains from true load-balancing. If you are running HP-UX 11i v2, it's recommended that you consider upgrading.
  4. The 'save_attr' command is used to permanently save settings, ensuring they persist after a reboot, while 'set_attr' applies settings that are temporary and will not persist after a reboot.
