and monitors and reports the condition of the power supplies and fans.
The FC and FATA disk drives have dual FC ports which can be redundantly accessed by each controller.
The drives are hot plug. The drives can be configured, using redundant Vraid1 or Vraid5 protection, so
that a drive failure will not cause loss of data. Optional virtual sparing can be configured so that a drive
failure will trigger an automatic rebuild of the Vraid1 or Vraid5 protection using the virtual spare.
All EVAs have dual redundant power distribution. Two independent power cords distribute power through
two Power Distribution Units (PDUs) to each side of the EVA cabinets and to each power supply of the
controllers and to each power supply of the drive enclosures Each cabinet power cord can be connected
to independent power sources. For maximum availability, a customer should provide redundant power
from independent power circuit breakers, independent power lines from the power company and even
independent power companies.
The EVA4400 with embedded switch model also includes two 10 port 8Gb/s FC SAN B-series switches.

HP StorageWorks Command View EVA provides the capability to manage the EVA Array family in a SAN
or direct connect Fibre Channel host attach configuration. HP Command View EVA software runs on a
variety of server configurations using Windows Server 2003. ProLiant DL380 G5 and DL585 G2
Storage Servers are the perfect platforms from which to run Command View EVA. ProLiant Storage
Server gateway models (including the DL380 G5 x64 SAN Storage Server and DL585 G2 Storage
Server) allow you to stretch your investment by combining EVA management, file and print services, and
iSCSI connectivity all on the same platform.
The powerful Command View EVA 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 Command View EVA media kits and license are required with all EVA models. HP Command
View EVA requires a License to use (LTUs) equal to, or greater than the total raw capacity of each array.

Fibre Channel host connections provide up to 400MB/s bandwidth for each path. Dual mirrored port
write caching capability, with battery backed cache, maintains optimal availability while assuring data
integrity in the event of a failure.
Each HSV300 controller has two Fibre Channel host ports (four ports in a redundant pair of controllers)
assuring the availability of bandwidth for the most demanding applications. For the Embedded Switch
controllers, the host ports are connected internally to the embedded switches and are not available
externally. Twenty 8Gb/s SAN ports are available externally for SAN connections.
In addition, up to 4GB of cache per controller pair ensures high performance.
