For useful information on managing and configuring your storage system, see the
HP 4400/6400/8400 Enterprise Virtual Array configuration
Best practices white paper available at:
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/arraywhitepapers.html
1
HP recommends a maximum of eight arrays per HP P6000 Command View 9.2 or later instance. When running HP P6000 Command View 9.1 or earlier, the recommended maximum is four. This recommendation
applies to all management server types.
2
On the EVAx400 and P6300/P6500 EVA, the maximum number of virtual disks per array also includes DR group logs. One LUN (LUN 0) is always reserved by the controller software. The number of DR group log
virtual disks will reduce the total number of virtual disks available to the user.
3
If the array configuration includes virtual disks that are greater than 2 TB, then the maximum number of virtual disks (including snapshots, snapclones, and mirrorclones) per array will be less than the maximum listed.
4
The P6300/P6500 EVA iSCSI controllers support a maximum of 256 initiators and 255 LUNs (plus LUN 0). The P6300/P6500 EVA iSCSI/FCoE controllers support a maximum of 1024 initiators, 1024 LUNs, and
256 LUNs per virtual port group. The EVA4400 controllers support a maximum of 400 TB; the P6400 controllers, a maximum of 300 TB; and the P8400 controllers, a maximum of 500 TB.
5
The maximum number of disk groups is also limited by the maximum number of disks. For Fibre Channel disk drives, each disk group requires a minimum of 8 disks. For solid state disk (SSD) drives, each disk group
requires a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 8 disks.
6
See the QuickSpecs for your array model for the maximum addressability limits and maximum array sizes for this array.
7
The EVA4400 supports a maximum of 96 disks, so a maximum of 12 disk groups (8 disks per group) is supported.
8
When creating a disk group with double protection level on an array running XCS 10000000 or 10001000, a minimum of 10 disk drives is required on the array. If the disk group contains fewer than 10 drives and
double protection is requested, only single protection level will be used.
9
For additional maximums and rules on host presentations, See the "Configuration parameters” section of the “P6000/EVA storage system rules” chapter in the HP SAN Design Reference Guide .
10
The virtual mapping capacity is the sum of all virtual disks plus the mapped capacity of snapshots, snapclones, and mirrorclones. For HP P6000 Continuous Access configurations, the DR log file size is also included
in this sum. Note that demand-allocated and fully-allocated snapshots consume mapping capacity equal to the size of the source virtual disk. For information about enclosure capacity, see the QuickSpecs for the
applicable array model.
11
Create virtual disks (LUNs) that are larger than 2 TB (32 TB maximum). The operations allowed on virtual disks that are 2TB or greater are create, present, and delete. A LUN of less than 2 TB created on XCS
09500000 can be grown to greater than 2 TB on XCS 10000000 or 10001000.
12
Create virtual disks (LUNs) that are larger than 2 TB (32 TB maximum). The operations allowed on virtual disks or snapshots that are 2TB or greater are create, present, delete, extend, and shrink virtual disks; create
and delete snapshots; and create, delete, and attach empty containers. A LUN of less than 2 TB created on XCS 09500000 can be grown to greater than 2 TB on XCS 10001000.
13
The operations allowed on thin provisioned virtual disks are create, present, delete, extend, and shrink.
14
XCS 10001000 supercedes XCS 10000000.
