9 EVA4400 iSCSI Connectivity 32 Initiator
Upgrade License
The EVA4400 iSCSI connectivity option (mpx100b) is a licensed version of the EVA iSCSI connectivity
option mpx100). The mpx100b allows storage connectivity to the EVA4400 only and licenses the
number of iSCSI Initiators or hosts that can be actively mapped or connected to storage LUNs.
Initially, the mpx100b supports a maximum of 16 iSCSI Initiators with LUNs mapped to them. With
the installation of the EVA4400 iSCSI Connectivity 32 Initiator Upgrade License, this limit can be
increased. Two upgrade licenses can be installed on an mpx100b. The first upgrade license increases
the total number of iSCSI Initiators that can be configured with mpx100b storage LUNs to 48. A
second upgrade license increases the number of iSCSI Initiators to the maximum support limit of 150.
License keys are based on the serial number of the mpx100b and cannot be transferred from one
mpx100b to another. The license key request form is available at:
