Managing HP Enterprise Virtual Array EVA4000/4100 configurations Managing HP Enterprise Virtual Array EVA Hardware Second generation entry level configuration 2C1D base model Eight 10K rpm disk bundle Four 1TB LTU (T3725A) Expandable to 2C4D Range of 8 to 56 drives (1 to 4 shelves) Rack can hold multiple arrays No loop switches; controllers connect directly to disk shelves 2C1D - min 2C4D - max Instructor notes Refer students to the QuickSpec for complete ordering options. The base model orderable for the EVA 4000/4100 includes one 4U controller assembly with two HSV200 controllers, one M5314C 3U 14-bay disk drive enclosure, cables, and appropriate mounting hardware. A cabinet must be ordered with this selection. Additional M5314C disk drive enclosures may be added to a maximum of four disk drive enclosures. Multiple EVA 4000/4100s can be configured in a single cabinet. 3 – 6 3 – 6 U4879S L.01 – © 2011 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. U4879S L.01

Managing HP Enterprise Virtual Array EVA6000/6100 configurations Managing HP Enterprise Virtual Array EVA Hardware Second generation medium configuration 2C4D base model Expandable to 2C8D Range of 16 to 112 drives (4 to 8 shelves) Available in all rack types Rack can hold multiple arrays If four shelves, at least four drives per shelf minimum Two loop switches (racked with the controller pair) 2C4D - min 2C8D - max Instructor notes The drive maximums for the EVA 4000/4100 are not enforced through XCS firmware or Command View EVA software. Licensing (paper) enforces the maximums. Therefore, the firmware does not know the difference between an EVA 4000/4100 and EVA 6000/6100. 3 – 7 3 – 7 U4879S L.01 – © 2011 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. U4879S L.01

EVA8000/8100 configurations (1 of 2) Managing HP Enterprise Virtual Array EVA Hardware Second generation high end configuration Can range from 2C2D to 2C18D Base models: 2C2D, 2C6D, and 2C12D Utility rack supports configurations beyond 2C12D Range of 8 to 240 drives (2 to 18 shelves) Available in 42U rack If two shelves, at least four drives per shelf minimum Loop switches None for 2C2D, but you can add two pair through a quad kit Four switches are used if greater than four shelves 2C2D Controller pair Drive enclosure Area for switch 6U 18U Instructor notes The 2C2D for the second-generation EVA makes use of bundling of shelves. This allows additional components to be placed above the controller pair and allows expansion to go from the bottom to the top. Cabling connections are the same as for the EVA5000 2C2D. The 2C2D is expandable to 2C4D, the 2C6D expandable to 2C12D (2C18D with expansion rack), and the 2C12D to a 2C18D with an expansion rack. 3 – 8 3 – 8 U4879S L.01 – © 2011 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.

There are four product numbers orderable for the EVA 8000/8100 base model; each includes one 4U controller assembly with two HSV210 controllers. One base model is the 2C2D, which does not include loop switches unless more than four disk enclosures are added. One product number includes the 60Hz cabinet and the another includes the 50Hz cabinet. The other base model is the 2C6D, which includes loop switches. One product number includes the 60Hz cabinet and the another includes the 50Hz cabinet. Additional M5314C disk drive enclosures may be added to a maximum of four disk drive enclosures. The 0C6D and 0C12D cabinets are also orderable. 3 – 9 3 – 9 U4879S L.01 – © 2011 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. U4879S L.01

Managing HP Enterprise Virtual Array EVA4400 configurations Managing HP Enterprise Virtual Array EVA Hardware Third generation With or without rack Pair of HSV controllers in a single enclosure Can range from 2C1D to 2C8D Base models: 2C1D, 2C4D, 2C6D, and 2C8D Range of 8 to 96 drives (up to 12 drives per M6412 drive enclosure) No loop switches Note: Expansion shelves can be mounted above controller to make up to 2C8D Controller enclosure (with controller pair) Drive enclosures 2C4D Instructor notes The physical disk drives plug into drive enclosures. Cables off the controller shelf connect to one disk drive enclosure, then from each drive shelf to the next. The smallest configuration is 2C1D — Two controllers in the same shelf with a single drive shelf to support up to 12 drives. Seen in the diagram is a 2C4D configuration — Two controllers with four drive shelves to support up to 48 drives. As noted, the current configuration can be expanded to a maximum of eight drive shelves off a pair of controllers. The EVA4400 Starter Kit is designed to address smaller SAN configurations that need affordable, fast and easy complete small-SAN deployment. The EVA4400 Starter Kit allows users to quickly implement a small-SAN with room to easily grow capacity using standard EVA4400 components as needed up to 96TB of storage. 3 – 13 3 – 13 U4879S L.01 – © 2011 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
