1 Overview of HP EVA Virtualization Adapter HP StorageWorks EVA Virtualization Adapter (HP EVA Virtualization Adapter) is installed on VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) servers and enables communications between SRM and HP StorageWorks Command View EVA (and HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA for remote replication). HP EVA Virtualization Adapter performs the following functions: • Discovers disk arrays • Discovers replicated LUNs • Fails over storage for testing (test a recovery plan) • Fails over storage for recovery (execute a recovery plan) For detailed operational information on HP StorageWorks Command View EVA, HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA, HP StorageWorks Business Copy EVA, or VMware Site Recovery Manager see the sources cited in Related documentation. Discovery of disk arrays and LUNs During SRM configuration, HP EVA Virtualization Adapter is called to discover available arrays and replicated LUNs. The following information is discovered: • Storage array IDs (WWN) • Controller Port WWNs • Physical host HBAs • LUNs assigned to local (protected) physical and virtual hosts • Remote recovery storage array ID • Remote vdisk name Remote vdisks are members of HP EVA data replication groups, and are replicated between protected and recovery HP EVAs using HP Continuous Access EVA.

1 Overview of HP EVA Virtualization
Adapter
HP StorageWorks EVA Virtualization Adapter (HP EVA Virtualization Adapter) is installed on VMware
Site Recovery Manager (SRM) servers and enables communications between SRM and HP
StorageWorks Command View EVA (and HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA for remote
replication).
HP EVA Virtualization Adapter performs the following functions:
•
Discovers disk arrays
•
Discovers replicated LUNs
•
Fails over storage for testing (test a recovery plan)
•
Fails over storage for recovery (execute a recovery plan)
For detailed operational information on HP StorageWorks Command View EVA, HP StorageWorks
Continuous Access EVA, HP StorageWorks Business Copy EVA, or VMware Site Recovery Manager

.
Discovery of disk arrays and LUNs
During SRM configuration, HP EVA Virtualization Adapter is called to discover available arrays and
replicated LUNs.
The following information is discovered:
•
Storage array IDs (WWN)
•
Controller Port WWNs
•
Physical host HBAs
•
LUNs assigned to local (protected) physical and virtual hosts
•
Remote recovery storage array ID
•
Remote vdisk name
Remote vdisks are members of HP EVA data replication groups, and are replicated between protected
and recovery HP EVAs using HP Continuous Access EVA.
