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 / SBM software runs
on a variety of server configurations using Windows Server 2003. ProLiant DL380 G5 and SB460c SAN
Gateway Storage Servers are the perfect companion platforms from which to run Command View EVA /
SBM, since they can also add file and iSCSI services to your array, and help you optimize your
investment by combining multiple services on a single device or cluster.
The powerful Command View EVA / SBM 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 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. For the Embedded Switch
controllers, the host ports are connected internally to the embedded switches and are not available
externally. Twenty 8Gb/s SAN ports are available externally for SAN connections.
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 multi-path 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.
