High availability features

Two interconnected controllers ensure that the failure of a controller component does not disable the

system. A single controller can fully support an entire system until the defective controller, or controller

component, is repaired. For EVA5000 configurations, the complete data redundancy configuration

includes two Loop A and two Loop B data paths. For EVA3000 configurations, data redundancy is

accomplished with two Loop A data paths.
Each controller has two lead-acid cache batteries that provide power to the cache memory. When the

batteries are fully charged, they can provide power to the cache for up to 96 hours.

Operator control panel

The operator control panel (OCP) provides a direct interface to each controller. From the OCP you

can display storage system status and configuration information, shut down the storage system, and

manage the password.
The OCP includes a 40-character LCD alphanumeric display, four push buttons, and four status indicators

See

.

HP Command View EVA is the tool you will typically use to display storage system status and configuration

information or perform the tasks available from the OCP. However, if HP Command View EVA is not

available, the OCP can be used to perform these tasks.
