Command View EVA and MPX200 management rules and guidelines The Command View EVA implementation for the MPX200 supports management of up to four EVA storage systems concurrently. This implementation provides the equivalent functionality for both iSCSI and FC connected servers. All MPX200 management functions are integrated in Command View EVA. For more information, see the HP StorageWorks MPX200 Multifunction Router user guide at http://www.hp.com/go/eva. Observe the following MPX200 Command View EVA rules and guidelines: • Command View EVA 9.1.1 or later for server based or array based management. • A maximum of one MPX200 chassis (two blades) can be discovered by an EVA storage system. • Command View EVA manages the MPX200 out of band (IP) through the MPX200 management IP port. The Command View EVA application server must be on the same IP network as the MPX200 management IP port. • The MPX200 iSCSI initiator or iSCSI LUN masking information does not reside in the Command View EVA database. All iSCSI initiator and LUN presentation information resides in the MPX200. • The default iSCSI initiator EVA host mode setting is Microsoft Windows. The iSCSI initiator for Apple Mac OS X, Linux, Sun Solaris, VMware, and Windows 2008 host mode setting is configured with Command View EVA. NOTE: Communication between Command View EVA and the MPX200 is not secured by the communication protocol. If this unsecured communication is a concern, HP recommends a confined or secured IP network within a data center. EVA storage system software The MPX200 is supported with HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA, Business Copy, SSSU, or Replication Solutions Manager. Fibre Channel switch and fabric support The MPX200 is supported with HP B-series and C-series switch models For the latest information on FC switch model and firmware support, see the SPOCK website at http://www.hp.com/storage/ spock.
