Secury Path, Windows2003 and EVA3000

[Christian Marquardt_1]

Hello,
I need to connect my EVA3000 to a Siemens Primergy Server running Windows 2003. Can anyone give me some more informations how to do this? Informations like the correct secure path version, documentation about how to install and how to connect the EVA3000.

many thanks and regards
Christian

The correct Secure Path version depends on the EVA VCS revision. Same dependency for the interconnection equipment.

Can you give a little more background information?

Is this a new EVA3000? They _used_ to include installation & startup service.

Do you know how to deal with Fibre Channel equipment like adapters and switches?

I am sorry. I can't give out my mail address.

We've bought the EVA3000 at january this year and before going productive HP has installed the latest updates.
Thats everything I know for this moment.

My first problem is to know that the Siemens Primergy TX300 Servers is working with the connected EVA3000 array.
Siemens consultans always says "I believe" ...

Nobody can say for sure unless that particular configuration has been tested.

On the other hand...
This month I've helped a customer to connect a FSC (Fujitsu Siemens or whatever the company is called at the moment...) server to an EVA3000. After that he intended to connect the remaining servers. Haven't discussed with him since then, but from 2 short telephone talks it sounds like he doesn't have any problems.

Thanks for the help Uwe. We'll try it with help from FSC.
