EVA 3000

Nickwebbs — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 17:00:19 GMT

I have just bought a second user EVA3000. I have all the parts.

However because i do not have a rack i do not have a World Wide Name lable with the info on it.

I would also like a quick overview on all the connections.

Thanks in Advanced
Nick

Hi Nick,

The hardware configuration documents appear to have been removed from HP's website for some reason - or I'm just not searching properly !

Anyway, I had a local copy, which I've just uploaded here:

http://leadbeater.org.uk/docs/AA-RS28D-TE.pdf

Note that it's 43MB in size.

As for getting hold of a WWN, that is tricky. I had to do the same as you and in the end had to borrow the WWN of another EVA.

If you search online for the string 5000-1FE1 you should find links to documents that contain a WWN that you could use - for example there's one in here:

http://h71028.www7.hp.com/ERC/downloads/5983-1674EN.pdf

However, you'll have to guess at the Checksum, in order to enter it into the controllers :-(

You might also find a WWN and CheckSum on the label on a disk enclosure...

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Rob

Command View Version 7? Then you have to add the (Windows) user to the (Windows) "HP Storage Admins" group.

Hi,
this storage admins/storage users accounts started from the CVE 6.x, the next step if you want the nice EVA trap filtering is the WEBES app
