Important notes
EVA configuration best practices
Although the EVA4000/6000/8000 is designed to work in a wide range of configurations, some of the
configuration options can influence performance, capacity, or availability. If you have the necessary
information, you can manage the configuration to optimize its attributes for a specific application. The
configuration options include:
•
Number of disk groups
•
Type of disk group
•
Type and number of disks in a disk group
Vraid levels (0, 1, and 5)
•
•
Disk failure protection level (none, single, and double)
•
Cache settings
For more information on the configuration options, see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array
