Abstract
This document describes the components and operation of the HP 6400/8400 Enterprise Virtual Array.
IMPORTANT:
With the release of the P6300/P6500 EVA, the EVA family name has been rebranded to HP P6000 EVA. The
names for all existing EVA array models will not change. The rebranding change also affects related EVA software. The following
product names have been rebranded:
•
HP P6000 Command View (formerly HP StorageWorks Command View EVA)
•
HP P6000 Business Copy (formerly HP StorageWorks Business Copy EVA)
•
HP P6000 Continuous Access (formerly HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA)
•
HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager (formerly HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager)
•
HP P6000 SmartStart (formerly HP StorageWorks SmartStart EVA Storage)
All rebranded software continues to support all existing EVA models (EVA3000/5000, EVA4000/6000/8000,
EVA4100/6100/8100, EVA4400, and EVA6400/8400).
