HP Command View EVA management rules and guidelines
The following rules and guidelines for HP Command View EVA are applicable when using the EVA and
EVA4400 iSCSI connectivity option:
•
Supports HP Command View EVA iSCSI connectivity (Fibre Channel switch not required). See
, and the HP StorageWorks Command View EVA iSCSI deployment whitepaper

.
•
A maximum of two mpx100's/100b's can be discovered by an EVA storage system.
•
HP Command View EVA 8.0 or later is required for the EVA4400 and the mpx100b.
•
HP Command View EVA manages the mpx100/100b out of band (IP) through the mpx100/100b
Mgmt IP port. The HP Command View EVA application server must be on the same IP network
with the mpx100/100b Mgmt IP port.

The HP StorageWorks mpx100/100b iSCSI Initiator or iSCSI LUNmasking information does
not reside in the HP Command View EVA database. All iSCSI Initiator and LUN presentation

The default iSCSI Initiator EVA host mode setting is Windows. The iSCSI Initiator for Linux, MAC,
Solaris and VMware host mode setting may be configured with HP Command View.
