EVA storage system rules and guidelines The MPX200 is supported with the following EVA storage systems: • EVA4400/4400 with embedded switch • EVA4000/4100/6000/6100/8000/8100 • EVA6400/8400 All MPX200 configurations must follow these EVA connectivity rules: • All MPX200 FC connections are fabric only through an FC switch. Directly connecting MPX200 FC ports to EVA controller host ports is not supported. • Each EVA storage system can connect to a maximum of one MPX200 chassis (two blades). • Each EVA controller host port can connect to a maximum of two MPX200 FC ports. • A maximum of one MPX200 chassis (two blades) can be zoned with up to four EVA storage systems. • An EVA storage system can present LUNs to iSCSI initiators and FC hosts concurrently.

EVA storage system rules and guidelines
The MPX200 is supported with the following EVA storage systems:
•
EVA4400/4400 with embedded switch
•
EVA4000/4100/6000/6100/8000/8100
•
EVA6400/8400
All MPX200 configurations must follow these EVA connectivity rules:
•
All MPX200 FC connections are fabric only through an FC switch. Directly connecting MPX200
FC ports to EVA controller host ports is not supported.
•
Each EVA storage system can connect to a maximum of one MPX200 chassis (two blades).
•
Each EVA controller host port can connect to a maximum of two MPX200 FC ports.
•
A maximum of one MPX200 chassis (two blades) can be zoned with up to four EVA storage systems.
•
An EVA storage system can present LUNs to iSCSI initiators and FC hosts concurrently.
Table 181
describes the maximum number of servers, initiators, and LUNs supported for combined
iSCSI and Fibre Channel connectivity to an EVA.
