Command View EVA
As the only user interface to the Enterprise Virtual Array, Command View EVA resides on the HP
OpenView Storage Management Appliance (management appliance) and is opened via a Web browser.
It is used to perform the following administrative tasks:
• Creating virtual disk families, including selection of Vraid level, cache policy, and host
presentation.
• Managing the presentation of Vraid drives to hosts.
• Managing and monitoring storage system hardware.
• Creating snapclones and snapshots of virtual disks.
An online help system is available within the interface, including page-level help.
Interface layout
The interface is divided into three panes:
• Session pane—located across the top of the window. It contains high-level commands and the
name and IP address of the Storage Management Appliance.
• Navigation pane—located on the left side of the window. It contains a tree structure for access to
virtual disks, hosts, and other elements of the Enterprise Virtual Array.
