HP P6000 Command View ABM and SBM versions
HP P6000 Command View is the primary storage management software for HP P6000 EVA storage
systems and is available in two versions:
Array-based storage management (ABM). The array-based version of HP P6000 Command View
comes factory-installed on HP P6000 EVA storage system models which have internal management
modules. The array-based version manages only the storage system on which it is installed. In
many cases, the array-based version eliminates the need for a separate management server in the
SAN.
Server-based storage management (SBM). The server-based version of HP P6000 Command View
is customer installed on a server in the SAN. The server-based version provides management of
multiple HP P6000 EVA storage systems. The server on which HP P6000 Command View is installed
is called a storage management server.
HP P6000 iSCSI connectivity option
HP P6000 SmartStart supports the iSCSI Connectivity Options for HP storage systems.
The HP P6000 iSCSI Connectivity Option integrates low-cost Ethernet-connected servers into a
SAN by bridging the iSCSI protocol to the Fibre Channel protocol. This capability allows iSCSI
servers to leverage shared SAN resources. Features include:
•
Integrated management with HP P6000 Command View
•
Concurrent Fibre Channel and IP traffic
•
Support of high availability multipath configurations
•
Support of fabric and direct attach configurations
