HP StorageWorks EVA4000 SAN Starter Kit release notes 3

Emulex EZPilot

EZPilot is used during installation of the EVA4000 SAN Starter Kit to simplify SAN configuration. EZPilot

can also be used to perform basic storage provisioning tasks, such as creating and deleting virtual disks.

HP Command View EVA

HP Command View EVA is a tool for managing all aspects of storage system operation. In addition

to provisioning, HP Command View EVA enables you to monitor the storage system and troubleshoot

problems.

Table 2 identifies the supported management tasks.

Installation instructions

For information about installing the EVA4000 SAN Starter Kit, see the following:

•HP StorageWorks EVA4000 SAN Starter Kit quick installation

•Emulex EZPilot User Manual

CAUTION:

When installing the EVA4000 SAN Starter Kit, be sure to use the EZPilot installation CD, which installs

all of the required components. Do

not

use any of the other installation CDs included with the product;

doing so will disrupt the installation process.

EZPilot installation prerequisites

BeforeinstallingtheEZPilotsoftware,besureto:

•Record the switch IP address, gateway, and subnet mask.

You will use this information during installation.

•Uninitialize the storage system.

If it has been initialized, you must uninitialize it before installing EZPilot.

•Verify that the switch configuration (including the default password) has not been changed

from the factory default.

•Remove any Emulex or Brocade software installed on the server.

•Remove any MPIO software installed on the server.

System configuration recommendations

•The HP EVA4000 SAN Starter Kit provides a specific configuration for implementing a SAN

using an EVA4000 storage system. This configuration provides a simple SAN solution for

Windows. The EZPilot management software supports a broader range of configurations. Not

all configuration options discussed in the Emulex EZPilot User Manual apply to the HP EVA4000

SAN Starter Kit.

•If you require uninterrupted access to your data, add a second HP StorageWorks SAN Switch

4/8 base to create a high-availability SAN configuration. This dual fabric ensures that a switch

failure, EVA controller failure, or HBA failure will not interrupt EVA access. Contact HP for

information about ordering a second switch.

•Adding a second disk enclosure helps to create a high-availability SAN by providing protection

against disk enclosure failure. Contact HP for information about ordering additional disk

enclosures.

•To protect against power loss, HP recommends that you use uninterruptible power supplies

(UPS) with the EVA4000. For information about UPS products offered by HP, see the HP

Rack-mountable UPS website:

index.html

HP StorageWorks EVA4000 SAN Starter Kit release notes 5

•HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE) provides a single remote monitoring and support

solution for your EVA4000. ISEE uses continuous hardware event monitoring and automated

notification to identify and prevent critical problems. ISEE is a no-charge feature of the EVA

Foundation Service Solution warranty. For more information, or to download ISEE, see the HP

Online Support Resources website:

http://www.hp.com/go/instantsupport

Server configuration

•In Windows environments, be sure to install all operating system updates and patches.

•Ensure that only one Windows management server is connected to the EVA4000:

• Select a Windows server with access to the EVA4000 as the management server.

• Ensure that the management server is running Windows Server 2003 R2.

• Before installing EZPilot, enable the Storage Management for SANs component included

in the R2 Windows feature pack.

•In a single-switch configuration, you can connect three non-management servers to the EVA4000.

•In a dual-switch high-availability configuration, you can connect up to five non-management

servers can be connected to the EVA4000.
