EVA and EVA4400 iSCSI Connectivity Option
The EVA iSCSI Connectivity Option allows iSCSI connectivity support for the EVA family of storage
systems. The EVA iSCSI Connectivity Option uses Command View EVA management software and
the following hardware:
•
mpx100 for all EVA models
•
mpx100b for EVA4400 and EVA4400 (embedded switch)
The EVA iSCSI Connectivity Option uses a standard GbE NIC for iSCSI connectivity to servers. You
can purchase this option either included with an EVA or as a field upgrade to your existing EVA.
NOTE:
The EVA iSCSI Connectivity Option (mpx100) is supported with EVA4000/4100/4400/4400
(embedded switch)/6000/6100/6400/8000/8100/8400 and EVA3000/5000 storage systems.
The EVA4400 iSCSI Connectivity Option (mpx100b) is supported with EVA4400 and EVA4400 with
the embedded switch storage systems.

An EVA storage system can connect simultaneously to iSCSI and Fibre Channel attached hosts. iSCSI
support is provided through a dedicated EVA host port for direct connect (see
Figure 134
,
Figure
135
, and
Figure 136
) or shared with Fibre Channel through an existing fabric host port for fabric
attachment (see
Figure 137
).
