NOTE: Currently, hardware snapshots are supported only on Hewlett-
Packard StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) storage
arrays. The latest version of the HP StorageWorks Scripting
System Utility (SSSU) must be installed on all servers in the
cluster in order for HP EVA snapshots to work. To locate this
utility, go to
www.hp.com, select Software & Driver Downloads,
and search for “HP StorageWorks Command View EVA
Software.” Choose the latest media kit version, and select the
correct version for your OS. The current media kit version is
v4.1. The utility must be renamed, or linked, to /usr/sbin/sssu,
and must be executable by all users.
To configure the snapshot method, click Add, select the appropriate
configuration module and then supply the configuration information.
5. Apply the configuration. When you have completed your entries on
the Storage Configuration tab, click Apply (at the bottom of the Matrix
Configuration window). You will then see a message stating the
operation will erase all of the data on the membership partitions. Click
Yes to continue.
