Managed Systems Configuration Guide
Chapter 16: Enterprise Virtual Array Configuration
If the version of SMI-S installed by Command View TL is older than that used by Command View
EVA, then install or upgrade Command View EVA after Command View TL to avoid a conflict.
Additionally, the credentials used by each software application are overwritten by the other when it
installs. Therefore, it is recommended to use the same account details to avoid losing information.
Note: A Command View EVA standard installation is the preferred baseline for Insight Remote
Support Advanced supportability.
If the required Command View EVA components are not installed for more details, see "Requirements and
Documentation to Configure Command View EVA on the SMS" below
Note: EVA system and hardware requirements can be found in the HP StorageWorks Enterprise
Virtual Array Compatibility Reference at:
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storage/software/cmdvieweva/index.html (click the HP
Support & Documents link, then the Manuals link to view the list of Command View EVA manuals).
Refer to the following two tables in the document: Table 4.1 Supported software on management
servers and the management module and Table 4.2 Supported EVA software operating environments.

Overview of Command View EVA 7.0.1 through 8.0.1
with SMI-S Requirements
This section applies to Command View EVA 7.0.1 through 8.0.1. Always check the Command View EVA
documentation for baseline requirements. Again, versions of Command View EVA 8.0 and earlier cannot
run on the CMS. With the release of Command View EVA 8.0.1, it is now supported to have Command
View EVA running on the CMS. There can be multiple SMSs in an environment for the purposes of fault
tolerance or load balancing; however there can only be one Command View EVA server that is actively
managing a given EVA array at any time.
