EVA 4400 and virtualconnect FC module

[MAH_2]

Is it possible to use the virtual connect 8g,20port with EVA4400. We dont have the SAN switchess.
Appreciate the immediate reply...

[Peter Mattei]

No, this is not possible.
The Virtual Connect is kind of HBA multiplexer and requires a SAN switch to login the attached HBAs using NPIV.

For more info read the HP SAN Design Reference Guide staring on page 193 of the August 2010 edition.

So If I want to connect the EVA dirctly for 4 hosts without switch how I can do this with FC-VC??

[Peter Mattei]

This is just not possible!

VC FC REQUIRES an FC switch to be present!
