The following additional equipment is required to configure the EVA or EVA4400 iSCSI option for
fabric iSCSI–Fibre Channel attachment mode:
• B-series, C-series, or M-series Fibre Channel switch
• Optical small form-factor pluggables (SFPs)
• Optical Fibre Channel cables
Contact your HP storage representative for specific switch model support.
EVA and EVA4400 iSCSI connectivity options
An EVA storage system can be configured for simultaneous connectivity to iSCSI and Fibre Channel
attached hosts. Support for iSCSI is provided through a dedicated EVA host port (direct connect) or
shared with Fibre Channel through an existing fabric host port (fabric attach).
Figure 1 illustrates the direct connect iSCSI–Fibre Channel attachment mode configuration. This
configuration is used with an EVA 4000/4100/6x00/8x00 storage system. Figure 2 illustrates the
direct connect iSCSI-Fibre Channel attachment mode for an EVA4400 storage system.
NOTE:
Direct connect mode requires a dedicated host port on each HSV controller. Unused controller host
ports require loop-back connectors. See
Table 12 on page 42 for more information.
