For the HP EVA Management Appliance, you will be asked for the
hostname or IP address of the appliance associated with the cluster, and
also the username and password that should be used to access the
appliance.
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.
Export the Configuration
The initial configuration is now complete. mxconfig can export this
configuration to the other servers in the matrix.
If you chose to export the configuration, type the names of the servers
that you want to receive the configuration on the Export Configuration
window. Use white space to separate the names.
