HP EVA P6000 HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array release notes (XCS 10001000) (5 - Page 4

Enhancements XCS 10001000 contains the same functionality as XCS10000000: • New racks, known as the "Intelligent Series Racks", have been introduced, offering improved cable management and air flow. Related hardware documentation will be updated in the next release. • EVA management software support-HP Command View EVA 9.4 or later (both server-based management and array-based management) is supported with XCS 10001000. The array-based management version is only supported on the EVA4400, P6300 EVA, and P6500 EVA and is installed on the management module in the controller enclosure, which reduces the need for a management server. (A management server is still required for HP P6000 Continuous Access support and certain other management tasks.) Without a management server in a direct connect environment, this allows for an additional Fibre Channel port, per controller, that you can use to directly connect to a Windows, HP-UX, or Linux application server. For more information, see the HP P6000 Command View Installation Guide. • Replication software support-HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager 5.3 or later is supported with XCS 10001000. HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager is an optional interface that offers enhanced management of local and remote replication and is offered at no charge. It includes the user interface for HP P6000 Business Copy and HP P6000 Continuous Access. For more information, see the HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager 5.3 Release Notes. NOTE: HP P6000 Business Copy and HP P6000 Continuous Access are optional replication features. You must purchase a license to use these features. See the HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference for more information about local and remote replication support. • Management module software support-Version 0001.4300 is supported with XCS 10001000. The management module applies to the EVA4400, P6300 EVA, and P6500 EVA only. • Thin provisioning-Create and manage thin provisioned virtual disks. This feature dynamically increases the space allocated to a virtual disk. • Large LUN support-Support for snapshot replication of LUNs greater than 2 TB. Expanding and shrinking of large LUNs is also supported. • Controller auto-boot on power cycle-EVA4400, P6300 EVA and P6500 EVA arrays now provide a setting in the HP P6000 Web-based Operator Control Panel that enables the controllers to boot automatically when power is applied after a full shutdown. • Online virtual disk migration (change Vraid or disk group)-Change a virtual disk's redundancy level (Vraid) or disk group membership without impacting host I/O.
