Gathering Information
Below is important information you need to know prior to operating the Enterprise Virtual Array. Retrieve
the items described below to assist you in completing initialization.
Locate the following items to install the storage system:
•
HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array World Wide Name Label, which is a separate sheet
of paper shipped with the system.
•
HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array Read Me First document.
•
If you bought a license for the snapshot feature, the instructions for installing license keys are
included in the HP StorageWorks Business Copy License Instructions document included with your
replication license package. If you also bought Continuous Access EVA, licensing instructions are
found in the HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA Getting Started Guide.
•
The latest HP OpenView Storage Management Appliance Update, which consists of the
management appliance update CD and its associated documentation.
• You can determine the latest update version available by checking your Release Notes
or contacting your authorized service representative to find out how to receive the latest
information.
• The boxed kit for the operating system of the host computer. If there are hosts running different
operating systems, you will need a boxed kit for each operating system. This kit ships
separately from the storage system.
• The boxed kit that contains the hardware documentation and ships with the system. That is
the box that this manual came in.
Locate these items and keep them handy. You will need them for procedures in the rest of this manual.

storage system. The information you will need for each host is as follows:

A list of World Wide Names of the FC adapters, also called host bus adapters, through which the
host will connect to the fabric or fabrics that provide access to the storage system
