Page 29: Rack Configurations
Rack configurations Each system configuration contains several disk enclosures included in the storage system. See Figure for a typical EVA6400/8400 rack configuration. The standard rack is the 42U HP 10000 G2 Series rack. The EVA6400/8400 is also supported with 22U, 36U, 42U 5642, and 47U racks. The 42U 5643 is a field-installed option and the 47U rack must be assembled onsite because the cabinet height creates shipping difficulties.
Page 30: Pdus
• The standard power configuration for any Enterprise Virtual Array rack is the fully redundant configuration. Implementing this configuration requires: • Two separate circuit breaker-protected, 30-A site power sources with a compatible wall recept- acle (see Figure 16). • One dual PDU assembly. Each PDU connects to a different wall receptacle. •...
Page 31: Pdu 1
NOTE: The dual PDU assembly shown in Figure 17 typically lays flat in a rack, but is shown raised to illustrate the AC receptacles and mounting hardware. Figure 17 Dual PDU assembly 1. PDU 1 2. PDU 2 3. Circuit breakers 4.
Page 32: Rack Ac Power Distribution
• Three mounted on the right vertical rail connect to PDU 2. Each PDM has eight AC receptacles and one thermal circuit breaker. The PDMs distribute the AC power from the PDUs to the enclosures. Two power sources exist for each controller pair and drive enclosure.

Page 103: D Single Path Implementation
D Single Path Implementation This appendix provides guidance for connecting servers with a single path host bus adapter (HBA) to the Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) storage system with no multi-path software installed. A single path HBA is defined as an HBA that has a single path to its LUNs. These LUNs are not shared by any other HBA in the server or in the SAN.
Page 104: Benefits At A Glance
The non-mission-critical applications gain access to the EVA from a single path HBA server without running a multi-path driver. When a single path HBA server uses the supported configurations, a fault in the single path HBA server does not result in a fault in the other servers. Benefits at a glance The EVA is a high-performance array controller utilizing the benefits of virtualization.
Page 105: General Configuration Components
General configuration components All configurations require the following components: • Enterprise VCS software • HBAs • Fibre Channel switches Connecting a single path HBA server to a switch in a fabric zone Each host must attach to one switch (fabric) using standard Fibre Channel cables. Each host has its single path HBA connected through switches on a SAN to one port of an EVA.

Risks • For nonclustered nodes with a single HBA, a path failure from the HBA to the SAN switch will result in a loss of connection with storage devices. • If a host crashes or experiences a power failure, or if the path is interrupted, data will be lost. Upon re-establishment of the path, a retransmit can be performed to recover whatever data may have been lost during the outage.
