Eva Single-Server Maximum Configurations - HP StorageWorks 4000/6000/8000 - Enterprise Virtual Arrays Reference Manual

For additional information about EVA maximums, see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array
compatibility reference.
A LUN presentation is the number of hosts presented to, regardless of how many adapters are in each
host.
For example, if a LUN is presented to eight hosts, that LUN has eight LUN presentations. If a LUN is
presented to two hosts, that LUN has two LUN presentations.
LUNs #001 through #032 are presented to 8-node cluster
nl
LUNs #033 through #064 are presented to 8-node cluster
nl
LUNs #065 through #096 are presented to 8-node cluster
nl
LUNs #097 through #128 are presented to 8-node cluster
nl
LUNs #129 through #160 are presented to 8-node cluster
nl
LUNs #161 through #192 are presented to 4-node cluster
nl
LUNs #193 through #200 are presented to single host
When all LUNs are presented to all hosts, the number of LUNs multiplied by the number of hosts must
not exceed 8,192.
Table 129 lists the maximum number of EVA storage systems that can be configured on a single server. There
is no limit on the maximum number of EVA storage systems in a SAN.
