EVA Manageability

HP StorageWorks Command View EVA provides the capability to manage the EVA Array family in a SAN
or direct connect Fibre Channel host attach configuration. HP Command View EVA software runs on a
variety of server configurations; ProLiant DL380 G5 and DL585 G2 Storage Servers are the perfect
platforms from which to run Command View EVA. ProLiant Storage Server gateway models (including the
DL380 G5 x64 SAN Storage Server and DL585 G2 Storage Server) allow you to stretch your investment
by combining EVA management, file and print services, and iSCSI connectivity all on the same platform.

The powerful Command View EVA provides an easy mechanism to manage up to 16 EVA units in a SAN
configuration. Industry leading security enhancements in Command View now allows administrators to
take advantage of Windows domains and local groups. Command View integrates with Windows Active
Directory to authorize and authenticate users. In addition, all user actions and events that change system
state are logged. Administrators can now use the audit logging capabilities to see who did what and
when. The Command View EVA media kits and license are required with all EVA models. HP Command
View EVA requires a License to use (LTUs) equal to, or greater than the total raw capacity of each array.

Performance

Fibre Channel host connections provide up to 400MB/s bandwidth for each path. Dual mirrored port
write caching capability, with battery backed cache, maintains optimal availability while assuring data
integrity in the event of a failure.

Each HSV300 or HSV300-S controller has two Fibre Channel host ports (four ports in a redundant pair
of controllers) assuring the availability of bandwidth for the most demanding applications. In addition,
up to 4GB of cache per controller pair ensures high performance.

A storage management server can manage up to 16 EVA controller pairs (EVA4400, EVA3000s,
EVA5000s, EVA4x00s, EVA6x00s and/or EVA8x00s) in any one fabric. An EVA4400 controller pair will
support up to 256 multipathed host connections (up to 1024 HBAs).

The EVA4400 will scale up to 96 disks (96TB using 1TB FATA disk drives, and 43.2TB using 450 GB
high performance disk drives).

Configure to Order (CTO) options and the HP 10000 G2 Series Racks allow even greater server and
device integration, flexibility and scalability for the EVA4400. Data center managers can customize
server, storage and back-up configurations as well as using the residual cabinet U space to mount
management servers, switches and have the peace of mind that it is built with HP factory precision
manufacturing.
