Command View EVA

Discover, monitor and configure HP enterprise
Virtual array (eVa) disk arrays from a single
Web-based console.
Product description
Comprehensive software suite offers storage
administrators a single storage management
solution for all HP eVa disk arrays.
It automates and aggregates storage so you
have fewer steps to think about and fewer
things to manage. Provide easy and fast
configuration of LUNs and raID groups.
growing capacity is also straighforward, as
you can dynamically expand LUNs and add
physical drives online to quickly meet changing
business need.
With HP Command View eVaPerf performance
monitoring software, (part of the HP
Command View eVa software suite), you can
improve your quality of service (QoS) for
application uptime and user satisfaction by
monitoring performance levels and reducing
time to resolution when incidents occur.
Deployment
Command View eVa is supplied with all
HP enterprise Virtual array (eVa) disk arrays.

Business Copy EVA

Create and manage local replication
(using Snapshot, MirrorClone, Snapclone and
Vsnap) on HP enterprise Virtual array (eVa)
disk arrays.
Product description
Business Copy eVa creates point-in-time copies
of storage volumes using the snapshot and
cloning capabilities of the array firmware.
replication methods supported include;
Snapshots: a point-in-time virtual copy of
the data, created in seconds and usable
immediately. Disk capacity is reserved to
accommodate the original source volume.
Snapshots can be used to support zero-
downtime backup, disaster recovery mirroring,
and application development.
Vsnaps: Virtually capacity free point-in-time
copy of a LUN similar to a standard snapshot
except that it does not reserve the same amount
of disk capacity as the production volume being
copied. the copy volume will grow as data in
the production volume changes over time
MirrorClone: MirrorClone is a full, byte-for-byte,
point-in-time copy of a source LUN that can be
mounted to a secondary server.
Snapclones: a Snapclone is a complete clone
copy of a specified Virtual Disk (LUN). Within
a few seconds of when the Snapclone is taken,
the entire clone copy is available for use.
Deployment
Business Copy eVa is optional with all
HP enterprise Virtual array (eVa) disk arrays.

Continuous Access EVA

Create and manage remote replication on
HP enterprise Virtual array (eVa) disk arrays.
Product description
Continuous access eVa is a controller-based
data replication (remote mirroring) solution
which is the foundation of a disaster recovery
solution. the product works with all HP eVa
replicating data between the same or dissimilar
HP eVa models.
Continuous access eVa replicates data in
real time between HP eVa through local or
wide area networks. Data replication can be
bidirectional, meaning that a storage array can
be both a source and a destination.
the software also supports any array having a
relationship with two other arrays. For example,
array (a) has a replicating relationship with
both arrays B & C, where a is the destination
for data received from B, while a is also the
source for data that is replicated to C.
Deployment
Continuous access eVa is optional with all
HP enterprise Virtual array (eVa) disk arrays.
