EVA Manageability
HP P6000 Command View provides the capability to manage EVA P6000 family in a SAN or direct connect
Fibre Channel host attach configuration. HP P6000 Command View / SBM software runs on a variety of
server configurations using Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition or Standard
Edition. See the Command View QS at: www.hp.com/go/commandview for a list of servers that support
Command View.
The powerful P6000 Command View/SBM provides an easy mechanism to manage up to 16 EVA units in a
SAN configuration. Industry leading security enhancements in Command View now allows administrators
to take advantage of Windows domains and local groups. Command View integrates with Windows Active
Directory to authorize and authenticate users. In addition, all user actions and events that change system
state are logged. Administrators can now use the audit logging capabilities to see who did what and when.
The P6000 Command View media kits and license are required with all EVA P6000 models. HP P6000
Command View requires a License to use (LTU) for each array.
P6000 Command View / ABM is also available for EVA P6000. It runs on the EVA P6000's ABM module and
does not require a management server. It manages only the EVA P6000 that it is running on. It supports
Command View functions as well as Business Copy functions, but not Continuous Access functions.
Performance
Fibre Channel host connections provide up to 800MB/s bandwidth for each 8Gb/s path.
Dual mirrored port write caching capability between the controller pair, with battery backed cache,
maintains optimal availability while assuring data integrity in the event of a failure.
Each HSV340 or HSV360 controller has four Fibre Channel host ports (eight FC ports in a redundant pair of
controllers), or two Fibre Channel host ports and four 1Gb/s iSCSI ports (four FC ports and eight iSCSI
ports), or two Fibre Channel host ports and eight 10Gb/s iSCSI/FCoE ports (four FC ports and four
iSCSI/FCoE ports) in a redundant pair of controllers, assuring the availability of bandwidth for the most
demanding applications.
In addition, 4GB of cache per HSV340 controller pair and 8GB of cache per HSV360 controller pair helps
ensure high performance.
