Hi,
According to specs of EVA8K, only 2TB vdisk is possbile.

You may create multiple 2TB vdisk and put them in same VG from hp-ux. Also check the hp-ux release notes for max file system size and file size.

Hi Herrera,

The maximum size of a vidisk in any EVA family product is 2TB. Infact You cant create evan 2TB but it is 1GB less than 2TB.

No, it's a SCSI limit (2^32 blocks of 512 byte each).

Hi,

When I create a LUN in commmand view, I can see in space available RAID0 2GB, RAID1 2GB, RAID 5GB.

As I can verify the total space available in RAID0, RAID 1 and RAID5?

Re: EVA8000 VS. HPUX

The formular for displaying the available capacity for creation of _a single_ virtual disk is: MIN (2TB, available_space)

even if more raw capacity for _other_ virtual disks are available.
