HSV100 limits

[Aaron Lewis_1]

My usuall hardware contact is on vaca for another week & half, so I am hoping somebody here can help me out. I am currently running an EVA3000 with a pair of HSV100 controllers. I found a doc that says that they are limited to 56 drives. Is this 56 physical disks, or 56 defined 'DGA' drives? If it is defined DGA drives, is there a physical disk limitation for a pair of HSV100s?

Hello Aaron.

It means 56 physical disk drives. The EVA3000 can be equipped with up to 4 disk drive enclosures, each of which can fit 14 physical disk drives.

The EVA3000 can present up to 512 virtual disks, although a snapshot counts against that limit, too. There is also a limit on the number of mappings (Fibre Channel adapters to virtual disks), but you won't hit that limit with a few servers and, my apology, I am too lazy to look it up right now.
