HP StorageWorks Command View EVA Software Suite |
|
HP StorageWorks Command View EVA is a comprehensive software suite designed to simplify management of the high-performance HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) family of array products. HP Command View EVA provides a powerfully simple storage management experience when compared to traditional storage array management. The software helps automate and aggregate storage so you have fewer steps to think about and fewer things to manage. HP Command View EVA provides systems and storage administrators simplicity without compromise and the industry's easiest approach to array management. HP Command View EVA's intuitive user interface simplifies the expansion and shrinking of capacity (LUNs) online; you can configure LUNs and RAID groups with a few mouse clicks and you can easily add physical disks online to accommodate changing capacity needs without compromising application downtime and without a big storage administrative staff. For visualizing the big SAN picture, reducing SAN complexity and improving overall storage efficiency take advantage of HP Storage Essentials Software for managing EVA with SAN infrastructure. HP Standard Edition SRM (Storage Resource Management) Software, now included with EVA solutions, helps midsize businesses with small to medium HP storage-based SANs affordably gain control of their SAN inventory. The HP Storage Essentials Suite assists medium to large IT enterprises with simplifying management of heterogeneous multi vendor SAN infrastructure. HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) alone is an effective unified infrastructure management tool. When HP SIM is used in conjunction with HP Command EVA software and HP Essentials plug-ins, it becomes a comprehensive, easy-to-use platform that enables organizations to holistically control their server and storage environments from a single secure, web-based interface. HP Command View EVA complements the EVA family, from
Small-Medium-Business to enterprise class. It offers storage administrators a
scaleable storage management software solution that offers agility and growth
so you have the right amount of storage to meet your business and user needs.
With the HP Command View EVA software suite, you can centrally manage and configure
EVA from a single management console, provision storage instantly for immediate
capacity use or easily create RAID groups for tiered storage applications from
an available pool of capacity. You can replicate data instantly for backup on
demand, secure storage volumes (LUNs) against unauthorized host access and create
powerful scripts to document and automate tasks. To maintain EVA uptime, you can take advantage of HP's Web Based Enterprise Services (WEBES) and Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE) software tools for hardware fault detection, analysis and notification on Integrity, ProLiant and Alpha-based servers along with the Enterprise Virtual Array. These tools are shipped with the HP Command View EVA software suite. WEBES also communicates with proactive remote services using HP ISEE and HP Solutions support for 24X7 availability service to provide around the clock remote monitoring--phone home services. |

| Software Licensing FAQs | |
| What is the Licensing Methodology for HP Command View EVA v8.0, and how do I get my licenses? | Use the Command View EVA v8.0 licensing if you are deploying a new EVA based SAN with at least one new EVA, or you are a direct connect Windows server configuration with at least one new EVA or adding new EVA capacity. In either case, Command View EVA is running on the Windows server to manage EVA. HP Command View EVA v8.0 software licenses are based on terabytes (TB) of raw EVA storage capacity and must be assigned on a per individual EVA basis. Capacity calculation is equal to the raw disk capacity based on binary numbers (1 TB = 1024 GB) of each managed EVA. The License-to-Use (LTUs) for HP Command View EVA is available in either 1 TB LTU increments or an Unlimited capacity use per EVA LTU based on the license product number that is purchased. The product comes with CD media, documentation; 1-year 24X7 software support is included in the license to use (LTU) for the base configuration. You are required to select either one, or multiples of 1 TB 'license products' or an Unlimited Capacity Use per EVA license based on each EVA model purchased. The single 1 TB licenses may be upgraded at any time with an Upgrade to Unlimited Capacity Use per EVA product number. When the LTUs are ordered, you will receive a paper End User License Agreement (EULA) with the applicable capacity-based license. | |
| How do the per EVA capacity-based licensing tiers work? | HP
Command View EVA 8.0 licensing tiers consists of three (3) license tiers for each
EVA model. You can use EVA3000 and EVA4000 licenses interchangeably as well as
EVA5000 and EVA8000 licenses interchangeably, but EVA6000 licenses are only for
the EVA6000, as are EVA 4400 licenses. 1 TB, Unlimited Capacity Use per EVA, or
Upgrade to Unlimited Capacity Use per EVA is available. You can combine any number
of single 1 TB LTUs to achieve the required licensed capacity or choose an Unlimited
Capacity Use per EVA license. For example, you can combine three 1 TB LTUs for
an EVA4000, or choose to purchase an Unlimited Capacity Use per EVA license. You
may always order an Upgrade to Unlimited Capacity Use per EVA later, if desired. NOTE: Capacity-based Licensing is by controller pair. For example for a 2C1D only order 1 copy of the software media kit and the appropriate LTU. If ordering an 8C8D for example, order 1 copy of the software and order the appropriate capacity LTU required for each EVA controller pair; in this example totaling 4 LTUs. |
|
| |
| How do I purchase a license for a new EVA based SAN, and what happens if my capacity is expanded in the base configuration? | For example, if your new configuration is comprised of an EVA8000 with 3 TB of capacity, then you need to purchase the Media Kit, and three EVA8000 1 TB LTUs. You can also purchase an Unlimited Capacity use per EVA LTU instead of the (3) 1 TB LTUs. That decision depends on your EVA future capacity growth plans. As the capacity in the EVA grows, additional EVA8000 1 TB LTUs can be purchased to accommodate the extra capacity growth, or you could choose to order the Upgrade to Unlimited Capacity Use per EVA LTU for that array. If you add another EVA8000 into your configuration, you are required to purchase separate LTUs for that specific EVA - again either in combined 1 TB LTUs or an Unlimited Capacity Use per EVA. Refer to the Model section of this QuickSpec for applicable part numbers. |

| I am currently participating in the legacy HP OpenView SOM Migration Program, what should I do now that the HP OpenView SOM bundle is no longer offered; and what happens if my EVA capacity is growing as managed by my SMA? | NOTE: HP will continue to honor the HP OpenView SOM Migration Program, however, HP OpenView SOM Migration Program LTUs are no longer available for purchase. HP will help move the capacity that is registered under support so that you can take advantage of Command View EVA v8.0 and beyond. You are encouraged to get on support for the total capacity that is currently managed. Qualified customers who purchased a Storage Management Appliance before September 30th 2003 will be assisted appropriately. Please see your sales rep for more details. |
|
| |
| What happens if I am participating in the HP OpenView SOM migration program, but I never installed HP OpenView Storage Node Manager in my EVA based SAN; and what happens if my capacity continues to grow? | NOTE: HP OpenView SOM Program LTUs are no longer available. To manage increasing capacity please purchase Command View EVA LTUs. HP will help move the capacity that is registered under support so that you can take advantage of Command View v7.0 and beyond. You are encouraged to get on support for the total capacity that is currently managed. Qualified customers who purchased a Storage Management Appliance before September 30th 2003 will be assisted appropriately. Please see your sales rep for more details. |
|
| What happens if I am currently purchasing OpenView SOM LTUs and now that the OpenView SOM software is no longer offered by HP, I need to purchase more LTU to accommodate capacity growth? |
NOTE:
HP OpenView SOM Program LTUs are no longer available. To manage increasing
capacity please purchases Command View EVA LTUs. |
|
|
|
| Is HP Storage Essentials Standard Edition software bundled with EVA? |
Yes, depending on the configuration. HP Standard Edition SRM and HP Command View EVA software deliver an affordable Storage Resource Management starter solution to simplify EVA and SAN infrastructure management. With a unified SRM solution, one administrator can manage far more storage. It lets you visually monitor SAN storage topology, zones and health status from a single interface. It monitors performance for troubleshooting bottlenecks, tracks real-time performance metrics and provides historical trends and capacity planning-all things that you need IT Staff to do today. |
