HP EVA Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide (5697-2445, July 2013)

When the intersite links are down, EVA Cluster Extension will immediately try to use the remote
management servers to interface with the remote array.
Configuration tool (clxevaconfig.exe)
EVA Cluster Extension uses the configuration tool (clxevaconfig.exe) to store configuration
and access information for each configured management server. This tool stores information in the
clxevacfg file. However, because the clxevacfg file cannot be edited with a standard text
editor, management server entries can only be added, modified, and deleted using the configuration
tool that is included with the standard installation of EVA Cluster Extension. For more information,
see “Configuring HP EVA Cluster Extension” (page 17).
SSL protocol
You can configure EVA Cluster Extension to use the SSL protocol to communicate with the HP SMI-S
server. The SSL setting depends on whether or not SSL has been enabled on the HP SMI-S server
side.
Some HP products do not support SSL communication with the HP SMI-S server. Make sure that all
of the products you use with the EVA storage system that rely on the HP SMI-S server also support
SSL. If you use one product that uses the HP SMI-S server and does not support SSL communication,
you must disable SSL on the HP SMI-S server side and change all clients (for example, EVA Cluster
Extension) to disable SSL communication.
