Course Details
Oversikt
This course explores the technology of the Enterprise Virtual Array focusing on configuration and management. The product concepts and terminology are initially presented to ensure a grasp of the key elements of the array. The configuration is then performed through the Command View GUI. More detailed topics are then presented such as snapshots/ snapclones/ mirrorclones and the SSSU command line as well as EVAPerf.
Mål
This 5-day course combines theory and practical labs to teach how to manage the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array. The hardware, concepts and terminology are covered in-depth followed by configuration tasks which include Command View EVA, Local Replication using Business Copy EVA with Snapshots, Snapclones and Mirrorclones, Replication Solutions Manager for Business Copy, Multi-path management with HP MPIO DSM on Windows, native multi-pathing on HP-UX 11iv3, command line/scripting with SSSU, Upgrading controller and disk drive firmware.
Innhold
EVA hardware and software components and their functions, including the storage management server How the EVA storage system implements virtualization technology, including its use of eXtensible Controller Software (XCS)
- How to configure and manage the EVA solution
- Best practices and troubleshooting sources
This module is an overview of EVA hardware and software. Many components are covered in more detail in later modules which have a detailed overview of each array.
This module discusses EVA hardware configurations and compares the features and capabilities of the different hardware generations. The module refers to controllers and disk shelves, but those components are discussed in more detail in later modules.

This module describes concepts and terminology essential to understanding how the Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) virtualization software performs and manages local replication, Business Copy. It defines the terms you need to know and then explores the concepts behind the terms.
This module provides an introduction to local replication capabilities of the HP Replication Solution Manager.
This module will give you a high level overview of the EVA Continuous Access (CA) solution.
This module will present screen shots from Command View. Each slide will present a different scenario/issue. Examine the Command View screen shots to help address each scenario/issue.
This module will address numerous events, log files, and concepts helpful in EVA troubleshooting.
This module describes the use of EVAPerf and other tools to measure the performance of products in the EVA family.
This module will address upgrading EVA software. Although many pieces of software are involved, the focus will be the upgrade process of the XCS firmware on the EVA controllers. Upgrading the disk drive firmware will also be discussed.
This module will summarize and address configuration best practices for the EVA4x00/6×00/8×00 (current family) solutions:
