Adding HP P6000 EVA arrays

To view information about a P6000 EVA array, use the Storage Administrator Portal to add the
array and associate it with a P6000 Command View management server. During the initial Storage
Module for vCenter configuration, add the P6000 EVA arrays and P6000 Command View
management servers in a single step as described in

“Adding HP P6000 Command View

management servers” (page 12)

. After the initial configuration, you can add and remove P6000

EVA array and management server associations by modifying the configuration for either the
P6000 Command View management server or the P6000 EVA array.

NOTE:

With the release of the P6300 and P6500 EVA, the EVA family name has been rebranded

to HP P6000 EVA. The names for all existing EVA array models will not change. For the supported
P6000 EVA array models, see the HP SPOCK website:
