EVA4400 administration

[vipinvk]

Hi Friends,

      I have been given a task of administering an EVA4400 system. I have been working with other storage vendors but HP is quite new to me. I am finding it difficult to get documentation on managing and monitoring the system. Documents on CV EVA and EVA hardware/configuration will be much appreciated.

 Thanks in advance,

     Vipin V.K

Hey, 

so the EVA4400 comes with a management module. This has CV installed and a Web Based OCP.

Some also install CV on a fc-connected server (SBM - server based management - as opposed to ABM - CV on the management module).

EVA4400 manuals:

Some useful docs there:

• HP 4400 Enterprise Virtual Array User Guide (5697-1908, June 2012)
• There's a getting started guide too.

Command View Manuals:

• HP Storage System Scripting Utility Reference (T5494-96497, June 2012)
• HP P6000 Command View Suite User Guide (T5494-96494, June 2012)
• HP P6000 Control Panel User Guide (T5494-96521, June 2012)

If you use snapshots/snapclones (if it's installed on the SBM) you may want to check out manuals for RSM too:

Have fun :)
