Figure 2 (page 10) shows multiple HP EVA4400 storage arrays and hosts in a Fibre Channel SAN.
In this case, each EVA4400 storage array has a factory-installed instance of array-based HP P6000
Command View. Each HP EVA4400 storage array is also connected to a LAN so that users and
administrators can browse to each HP P6000 Command View interface.
HP P6000 Command View does not require hosts to be connected to the LAN. However, a LAN
connection can be a requirement of other HP server-based applications.
HP EVA4400, P6300 EVA, and P6500 EVA storage arrays can also be managed from an instance
of server-based HP P6000 Command View. For example, to configure an HP EVA4400 for remote
replication, you must use server-based management. A feature in both versions of HP P6000
Command View allows HP EVAs to be selectively managed by more than one instance of HP
P6000 Command View. However, only one instance can manage an EVA at a time. The HP P6000
Command View server must take control of the array away from all other instances before issuing
management commands to the array.
HP Management Integration Framework
Each instance of HP P6000 Command View and HP P6000 Performance Advisor includes HP MIF
software which provides HP storage applications with:
• Single Pane of Glass interface
• Management Group capabilities
• Enhanced single sign-on capabilities
HP MIF software also includes the following interfaces for administrators:
• Security interface
• Configuration interface
• Command line interface
