1 Overview of HP EVA Virtualization

Adapter

HP StorageWorks EVA Virtualization Adapter (HP EVA Virtualization Adapter) is installed on VMware

Site Recovery Manager (SRM) servers and enables communications between SRM and HP

StorageWorks Command View EVA (and HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA for remote

replication).

HP EVA Virtualization Adapter performs the following functions:

• Discovers disk arrays

• Discovers replicated LUNs

• Fails over storage for testing (test a recovery plan)

• Fails over storage for recovery (execute a recovery plan)

For detailed operational information on HP StorageWorks Command View EVA, HP StorageWorks

Continuous Access EVA, HP StorageWorks Business Copy EVA, or VMware Site Recovery Manager

see the sources cited in Related documentation.

Discovery of disk arrays and LUNs

During SRM configuration, HP EVA Virtualization Adapter is called to discover available arrays and

replicated LUNs.

The following information is discovered:

• Storage array IDs (WWN)

• Controller Port WWNs

• Physical host HBAs

• LUNs assigned to local (protected) physical and virtual hosts

• Remote recovery storage array ID

• Remote vdisk name

Remote vdisks are members of HP EVA data replication groups, and are replicated between protected

and recovery HP EVAs using HP Continuous Access EVA.
