Re: Connect SAN Virtual Connect to Storage EVA
Normal connectivity is through a SAN Switch. Note: the SAN switch must support NPIV. I think that this requirement would
stop a Direct-to-EVA connection from working.

Re: Connect SAN Virtual Connect to Storage EVA
Connecting storage directly to a VC-FC module is not supported by HP (and I've never seen it work).

Re: Connect SAN Virtual Connect to Storage EVA
It's correct, simply because VC-FC uplink ports and FC SW Ports are different in function. So EVA could not connect directly to VC-FC Ports ! It need another SAN SW connect uplink -uplink to VCFC. Then EVA connecr to that SAN SW.
But I wonder if, do you have any offcial doccument confirm about this prob. My customer need a HP Doc :)
Thanks and Best Regards

Re: Connect SAN Virtual Connect to Storage EVA
VC connects to ports configured for NPIV... which are SAN switch ports unless you can find something else with NPIV.
All of the Virtual Connect HP docs state that they connect to switches.
First rule of SAN or Network Virtual Connect.
ITS NOT A SWITCH.

Re: Connect SAN Virtual Connect to Storage EVA
I believe someone stated above there IS a 4400 EVA w/ an embedded switch thats the easiest way to do it hands down. Best practice would call for dual San switches which could get pricey..

Re: Connect SAN Virtual Connect to Storage EVA
With the EVA4400 model that includes the embedded 8 GB Brocade switch, you have a full-fledged SAN switch that can connect to a HP Virtual Connect SAN solution.
