Single-pathing (or single HBA per host) support is provided for all supported operating systems (but may be version dependent). Use of single-pathing, which does not offer a redundant path option, should be used with care. Failure of the single HBA will result in loss of access for that host until the HBA is replaced.

The EVA4400 provides one of the highest density disk storage solutions in its class of product. The EVA4400 can be configured in 18U of rack space with eight 2U 12-bay M6412 FC disk enclosures for a maximum capacity of 96 disk drives and a maximum storage capacity of 96 TB of disk capacity. The EVA4400 supports the HP 10000 G2 series racks.

The EVA supports the 400GB 10K rpm dual-ported 4 Gb/s FC disk. The EVA4400 will support up to 96 disk drives. The EVA4400 array will support single or mixed drive capacities and types (high performance and FATA) within an enclosure. HP recommends using the same drive type (the same capacity) within a disk group because virtualization allocates space proportionate to the highest capacity drive with in the group. A minimum of eight high performance Fibre Channel drives are required in a configuration using high performance drives.

The EVA also supports 146GB, 300GB, and 450GB 15K rpm dual-ported 4 Gb/s FC disk drives. The EVA arrays will support single or mixed drive capacities and types (high performance and FATA) within an enclosure. HP recommends using the same drive type (the same capacity) within a disk group because virtualization allocates space proportionate to the highest capacity drive within the group. A minimum of eight high performance Fibre Channel drives are required in a configuration using high performance drives.

The EVA supports 1TB dual ported 4 Gb/s Fibre Attached Technology Adapted (FATA) disks. An EVA will support a full configuration of FATA disk drives. The EVA4400 Starter Kits and the EVA4400 can be configured with any combination of FATA and high performance disk drives; total raw capacity will vary based upon the redundancy (Vraid) selected. A minimum of eight FATA drives are required in a configuration using FATA drives.

FATA drives are designed for lower duty cycle applications such as near on-line data replication for back-up. These drives should not be used as a replacement for EVA high performance, standard duty cycle, Fibre Channel drives. Doing so could shorten the life of the drive.

The EVA4400 models are 4Gb/s FC Switched Fabric enabled and are compatible with 8Gb/s, 4Gb/s or 2Gb/s FC Switched Fabric SANs with XCS v9.0. They can co-exist in the same FC SAN with EVA3000/5000 or EVA4x00/6x00/8x00 FC storage solutions and many other SAN devices. The EVA4400 with embedded switch model is 8Gb/s FC ready with XCS v9.0. The embedded switch is an 8Gb/s, 10 port B-series SAN switch for a total of 20 ports per controller enclosure.

The EVA4400 takes advantage of the benefits of Fibre Channel (FC) in distance, performance and connectivity. The use of optical Fibre cabling allows distances between connected segments of a SAN to be up to 500 meters @ 1 Gb/s; 300 meters @ 2 Gb/s using short wave multi-mode, 150 meters @ 4 Gb/s and up to 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) @ 1 Gb/s when using long wave cable. Storage Area Networks (SANs) can be constructed using FC switches/directors for fabric connectivity. HP StorageWorks SAN B-series and C-series switches and directors provide exceptional connectivity while increasing the effective bandwidth of the network. Supported SAN features include Zoning for communication isolation and Inter-Switch Links (hops) up to 10 km.

For more information on specific support specifications see the following SAN Infrastructure URL: http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/saninfrastructure/switches.html

The EVA4400 Starter Kits and EVA4400 have two FC host ports per HSV300 or HSV300-S controller; four for a controller pair. Each controller-to-host interface is 4 Gb/s. The HSV300 and HSV300-S controllers are compatible with 2 Gb/s and 4 Gb/s FC switches (if required), HBAs, servers and other storage solutions.

Each EVA controller pair interfaces with the M6412 drive enclosures. With 2 device ports per controller and dual FC I/O modules per drive enclosure, each controller has two connections to each FC drive A and B port. So each controller has a redundant path to each drive.

The EVA4400 can ship from the factory fully configured. After unpacking, it can be plugged into power sources, connected to the FC SAN, enabled and configured using HP SmartStart for EVA Storage and Command View EVA and it is ready for use. Installation and start-up services are not required but are available separately.

All EVA4400’s are configured with dual HSV controllers that operate in a redundant mode. Each EVA4400 controller has two FC device ports. For EVA4400, in the event of a path failure, the alternate paths to the controller can be utilized with the use of multi-path software in the Operating System or in Secure Path software.

On the EVA4400, each port connects to one FC I/O module on a drive enclosure. Up to eight drive enclosures can be connected in a FC loop arrangement with a controller pair and connect to one port of up to 96 drives. With the two FC ports per controller, each controller can connect to both ports on up to 96 disk drives for redundant paths to all 96 drives.

The HSV300 controllers also have dual redundant hot plug power supplies and dual redundant hot plug blowers. Each controller has hot plug cache batteries to maintain cache contents for up to 96 hours in case of a total power failure.

The M6412 FC drive enclosure has dual redundant hot plug FC I/O modules that allow the controllers to distribute I/Os between the two modules and provides redundant paths should either FC I/O module become unavailable. The enclosure also has dual redundant hot plug power supplies and dual hot plug blowers. Environmental Monitoring Unit (EMU) functionality is built into the I/O module in the enclosure and monitors and reports the condition of the power supplies and fans.

The FC and FATA disk drives have dual FC ports which can be redundantly accessed by each controller. The drives are hot plug. The drives can be configured, using redundant Vraid1 or Vraid5 protection, so that a drive failure will not cause loss of data. Optional virtual sparing can be configured so that a drive failure will trigger an automatic rebuild of the Vraid1 or Vraid5 protection using the virtual spare.

All EVAs have dual redundant power distribution. Two independent power cords distribute power through two Power Distribution Units (PDUs) to each side of the EVA cabinets and to each power supply of the controllers and to each power supply of the drive enclosures Each cabinet power cord can be connected to independent power sources. For maximum availability, a customer should provide redundant power from independent power circuit breakers, independent power lines from the power company and even independent power companies.

The EVA4400 with embedded switch model also includes two 10 port 8Gb/s FC SAN B-series switches.

HP StorageWorks Command View EVA provides the capability to manage the EVA Array family in a SAN or direct connect Fibre Channel host attach configuration. HP Command View EVA software runs on a variety of server configurations using Windows Server 2003. ProLiant DL380 G5 and DL585 G2 Storage Servers are the perfect platforms from which to run Command View EVA. ProLiant Storage Server gateway models (including the DL380 G5 x64 SAN Storage Server and DL585 G2 Storage Server) allow you to stretch your investment by combining EVA management, file and print services, and iSCSI connectivity all on the same platform.

The powerful Command View EVA provides an easy mechanism to manage up to 16 EVA units in a SAN configuration. Industry leading security enhancements in Command View now allows administrators to take advantage of Windows domains and local groups. Command View integrates with Windows Active Directory to authorize and authenticate users. In addition, all user actions and events that change system state are logged. Administrators can now use the audit logging capabilities to see who did what and when. The Command View EVA media kits and license are required with all EVA models. HP Command View EVA requires a License to use (LTUs) equal to, or greater than the total raw capacity of each array.

Fibre Channel host connections provide up to 400MB/s bandwidth for each path. Dual mirrored port write caching capability, with battery backed cache, maintains optimal availability while assuring data integrity in the event of a failure.

Each HSV300 controller has two Fibre Channel host ports (four ports in a redundant pair of controllers) assuring the availability of bandwidth for the most demanding applications. For the Embedded Switch controllers, the host ports are connected internally to the embedded switches and are not available externally. Twenty 8Gb/s SAN ports are available externally for SAN connections.

In addition, up to 4GB of cache per controller pair ensures high performance.

A storage management server can manage up to 16 EVA controller pairs (EVA4400, EVA3000s, EVA5000s, EVA4x00s, EVA6x00s and/or EVA8x00s) in any one fabric. An EVA4400 controller pair will support up to 256 multi-path host connections (up to 1024 HBAs).

The EVA4400 will scale up to 96 disks (96TB using 1TB FATA disk drives, and 43.2TB using 450 GB high performance disk drives).

Configure to Order (CTO) options and the HP 10000 G2 Series Racks allow even greater server and device integration, flexibility and scalability for the EVA4400. Data center managers can customize server, storage and back-up configurations as well as using the residual cabinet U space to mount management servers, switches and have the peace of mind that it is built with HP factory precision manufacturing.

HP Storage Works EVA4400 disk arrays can be connected as external storage devices behind the HP StorageWorks XP family of disk arrays.

The XP24000/XP20000 simplifies the management of heterogeneous SAN environments through its ability to support up to 247 PB/ 96 PB respectively of external storage-all configured ‘behind’ a single XP. XP External Storage software uses advanced virtualization technology to allow storage administrators to host XP Disk Array LUNs on externally attached disk arrays. Any Fibre Channel port from any CHA pair installed in any slot can be used to connect to external storage.

Instead of seeing a confusing collection of dissimilar arrays, host systems perceive all the data to be stored inside the XP disk array. In effect, the XP becomes the storage controller for a flexible, multi-tiered collection of storage with a range of cost and performance capabilities. By configuring current or legacy storage systems behind a single XP24000/XP20000, data can be moved back and forth dynamically across tiers, all of which is invisible to the applications.

The XP’s virtualization feature also reduces the total cost of storage ownership by:

• Exploiting common storage management across multiple vendors’ systems
• Easily deploying a dual-vendor policy
• Facilitating simpler and lower cost data migrations
• Increasing storage utilization
• Extending the life of legacy storage
