Re: XCS 10.000.00?

I thought the Thin Provisioning and Dynamic LUN migration features were only going to be applicable to the new P6000 models.

Does anyone have the CV9.4 install package yet? Are there any release notes?

Re: XCS 10.000.00?

Dynamic LUN migration and thin provisioning will be available on the P6300 and P6500 and the older EVA x400(4400, 6400, 8400) since they both run the same firmware. Thin provisioning will be available for everyone. For Dynamic lun migration you need a business-copy license. (non official, but from what I've heard). I thought XCS 10.000.00 and the P6300/P6500 will be announced officially at HP Discover (6-10June).

This is indeed excellent news!

"For Dynamic lun migration you need a business-copy license. (non official, but from what I've heard)." Got BC!

"I thought XCS 10.000.00 and the P6300/P6500 will be announced officially at HP Discover (6-10June)." Yes that's the plan according to @HPStorageGuy storage blog http://bit.ly/mL5kMC

Re: XCS 10.000.00?

The killer feature for me with XCS 10 will be that you can now grow a LUN beyond 2TB! Large LUN's have been supported since the x400 series launched but as we unfortunately found out if your LUN starts out <2TB it stops at 2TB and if you create it larger than 2TB it can't be grown.

Thin Provisioning and dynamic LUN migration -- features that should hopefully be "free". This should at least make the EVAs catch up with industry and NetApp arrays....

Hopefully HP also should now have a vSphere Plugin for the EVAs and the P series -- just like NetApp's and EMC's.

Hi guys,

It's generally available now:
https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=T4256-63135

For XCS 10.000.000 you require CommandView EVA 9.4, which is available right here:

Best regards,
Eric

Re: XCS 10.000.00?

@Alzhy, you can plugin the EVA's with the HP System Insight Control plugin:
