EVA and EVA4400 iSCSI connectivity product description
The EVA family of Fibre Channel (FC) storage systems is supported for integrated iSCSI connectivity
using the iSCSI connectivity option. The connectivity option uses the mpx100 (all EVA models) or
mpx100b (EVA4400 and EVA4400 with embedded switch) hardware and HP Command View EVA
management software. This option is available factory-integrated from HP or as a field upgrade to
an existing EVA storage system. With this option, iSCSI connectivity to the EVA is provided for servers
through a standard Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network interface controller (NIC).
NOTE:
The EVA iSCSI connectivity option (mpx100) is supported with EVA4000/4100/4400/4400 with
embedded switch /6000/6100/8000/8100, EVA6400/8400 and EVA3000/5000 storage systems.
The EVA4400 iSCSI connectivity option (mpx100b) is supported with EVA4400/4400 with embedded
switch storage systems.
