Manageability
ManageabilityManageability
Manageability HP StorageWorks Command View EVA provides the capability to manage the EVA Array family and is
installed on an existing Storage Management Appliance, a management server or a NAS server. This
powerful tool provides an easy mechanism to manage up to 16 EVA units in a SAN configuration.
The Command View EVA media kit and license are required with all EVA models. Command View EVA is
purchased separately from the HP StorageWorks EVA4000/6000/8000 controller media kit (XCS). HP
Command View EVA requires a License to use (LTUs) equal to, or greater than the total raw capacity of
each array.
Performance
PerformancePerformance
Performance Fibre Channel host connections provide up to 200 MB/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 HSV200 controller (for EVA4000/6000 configurations) 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.
Each HSV210 controller (for EVA8000 configurations) has four Fibre Channel host ports (eight ports in a
redundant pair of controllers) assuring the availability of bandwidth for the most stringent applications. In
addition, up to 8 GB of cache per controller pair ensures high performance.
Scalability
ScalabilityScalability
Scalability A storage management server can manage up to 16 EVA controller pairs (EVA 3000s, EVA5000s,
EVA4000s, EVA6000s and/or EVA8000s) in any one fabric. An EVA controller pair will support up to
256 host connections (up to 1024 HBAs).
The EVA4000 will scale up to 56 disks (28TB using 500 GB FATA disk drives, and 16.8 TB using 300
GB high performance disk drives).
The EVA6000 will scale up to 112 disks (56TB using 500 GB FATA disk drives, and 37.6 TB using 300
GB high performance disk drives).
The EVA8000 will scale up to 168 disks in a single cabinet and with the addition of an optional utility
cabinet, an EVA8000 will scale up to 240 disks(120TB using 500 GB FATA disk drives, and 72 TB using
300 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 EVA4000/6000. Data center managers can customize
server, storage and back-up configurations as well as using the residual cabinet U space to mount
Storage Management servers, switches and have the peace of mind that it is built with HP factory
precision manufacturing. The new EVA8000 2C2D, 2C6D, and 2C12D, also allows customers to
configure their new EVA8000 units from HP manufacturing with additional drive enclosures.
