HP StorageWorks SmartStart EVA Storage Kit HP StorageWorks SmartStart EVA Storage is a CD-based wizard that you use on your Windows Server 2003 or 2008 system to install and configure HP Command View EVA. You can use HP Command View EVA to configure, manage, and monitor the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) storage system. NOTE: For the EVA4400, HP Command View EVA 9.2 is pre-installed on the controller enclosure management module (for array-based management). You can still use HP SmartStart EVA Storage to configure application servers. To bypass the HP SmartStart EVA Storage interface and manually run the HP Command View EVA installer, go to the \bin\installers\CV directory on the CD. HP SmartStart EVA Storage will install HP MPIO EVA DSM, which enables you to provision storage from the array; and DSM Manager, which enables you to change the default settings of HP MPIO EVA DSM. For more information about HP SmartStart EVA Storage, see the latest product release notes, which are available at: http://www.hp.com/support/manuals Under storage, select Storage Software. Then, select HP SmartStart for EVA Storage under Storage Device Management Software. SAN support The HSV300 controller in the EVA4400 supports 2/4 Gb Fibre Channel communication, but requires 4 Gb SFPs in the controller host ports. The HSV300-S supports up to 8 Gb communication through the embedded switch ports. The HSV400 controller in the EVA6400 and the HSV450 controller in the EVA8400 are enabled for 4 Gb/s on each Fibre Channel host path, but will also support 2 Gb/s Fibre Channel host paths and components for backward compatibility. NOTE: 1 Gb path and components have specific configuration requirements. For more information on configuration requirements and support for 2 Gb and 4 Gb EVAs, see the HP StorageWorks SAN Design Reference Guide, which can be downloaded from the following website: http://www.hp.com/support/manuals Click Storage Networking under Storage, and then select HP StorageWorks SAN under HP StorageWorks SAN Solutions.
