1 Review and confirm your plans

Overview

Before installing the EVA, HP recommends that you:

• Develop an installation and configuration plan for your environment.

• Review all videos and documentation.

• Determine if the EVA will be fabric-attached (connected to Fibre Channel switch) or direct-attached

(connected to Fibre Channel adapter in server). The EVA4400 is factory configured for fabric-at-

tached. To change to direct-attached mode, see Chapter 6.

NOTE:

Models of the EVA4400 with an embedded switch (also known as the HSV300-S controller) are

configured in fabric-attach mode and must remain fabric-attached.

Prerequisites

Prerequisites for using this product include:

• A Fibre Channel switch installed in your environment

• An equipment cabinet suitable for 2U sized enclosures

• A management server running Windows for HP Command View EVA software (server-based

management)

• A management module running HP Command View EVA software (array-based management)

• A CD-ROM drive attached to either the management server or the server attached to the manage-

ment module

Plan your storage configuration

Proper planning of the system storage and its subsequent performance is critical to a successful

deployment of the EVA. Improper planning or implementation can result in wasted storage space,

degraded performance, or inability to expand the system to meet growing storage needs. Planning

considerations include:

• System and performance expectations

• Striping methods

• RAID levels

• Hard drive sizes and types

• Spare drives

• Array sizing (capacity)
