and the SPOCK website at http://www.hp.com/storage/spock.
MPX200 configuration options for P6000 EVA
You can configure a P6000 EVA storage system for simultaneous connectivity to iSCSI/FCoE and
FC attached hosts. Support for iSCSI/FCoE to a P6000 EVA is provided through the MPX200 and
an FC switch fabric port (fabric attach) or the MPX200 directly connected to the P6000 EVA.
NOTE: Directly connecting an MPX200 FC port and a P6000 EVA requires the P6000 EVA
controller port to be set to Direct.
Figure 1 (page 15) illustrates an MPX200 single-blade fabric-attached configuration. This is the
lowest-cost configuration and is used when high availability for iSCSI hosts is not required.

Figure 2 (page 15) illustrates an MPX200 dual-blade fabric-attached configuration. This configuration
provides high availability with failover between blades.
NOTE: A dual-blade configuration may require reconfiguration of device mappings.

Figure 3 (page 16) illustrates a multi-P6000 EVA configuration with connectivity for up to four
P6000 EVA storage systems from a single MPX200 blade.
