VMA features not initially supported by HP

The VMA-series memory arrays (VMA) and vSHARE OE are manufactured by Violin Memory. Not all

features and configurations possible with the VMA-series arrays and VMA SAN gateway have been

fully tested to the expected level from HP and are considered unsupported until a later time. While

the following features and configurations are described in the manuals, they are not initially

supported by HP:

 iSCSI connectivity with the SAN Gateway is not supported at this time.

 SAN Gateway feature called vCLUSTER for centralized management and monitoring of

gateways has not been fully tested.

 Dual PCIe cables from a single array; this causes the PCIe cables to operate in slower x4

mode. Only a single PCIe connection from the VMA SAN Gateway to an array using the

Primary PCIe connection on the array is supported.

 HP is not supporting connectivity to all the host platforms and operating systems (OSes)

mentioned in the manuals; only those listed in Table 2 have been fully tested to the level of HP

quality and are considered supported.

 Only the VMA3205 (5TB) and VMA3210 (10TB) models are supported; other models with

other capacity and memory module capacities are not supported by HP at this time.

Documentation location

Applicable documentation for the HP VMA SAN Gateway and VMA-series Memory Arrays can be

found at www.hp.com/go/vma-docs

Setup and configuration of the VMA SAN Gateway

Additional information and details for connection and setup of the VMA SAN Gateway can be found

in the HP VMA SAN Gateway Installation and User Guide, document number AM456-9007A Rev

02, available at www.hp.com/go/vma-docs.

Configuration of the VMA SAN Gateway is comprised of the following steps:

1. VMA SAN Gateway Hardware Configuration

2. VMA SAN Gateway Software Configuration

3. SAN Connectivity with the VMA SAN Gateway

4. Configuring and Presenting LUNs to connected Host Servers

VMA SAN Gateway hardware configuration

The base VMA SAN Gateway, Part Number AM465A, comes with:

 Two dual port 8Gb FC adapters (acting as four storage target ports)

 Redundant (two) power supplies

 Two 146GB SAS disks configured with RAID1 mirroring

 Preloaded with the vSHARE software operating environment (OE)

HP Supports a maximum of two VMA-series Arrays connected to one VMA SAN Gateway. Each

VMA-series Array requires one VMA PCIe Pass Thru Card (P/N AM464A which must be ordered with

the array) installed in the VMA SAN Gateway and one PCIe cable connecting the VMA SAN

Gateway to the VMA Array. You can mix models of VMA-series Memory Arrays connected to the

VMA SAN Gateway.
