3 Frequently asked questions
Q: Should I use HP EVA SmartStart, HP Command View EVA, or the HP web-based operator control
panel (WOCP) to manage my array?
A: HP SmartStart EVA, HP Command View EVA, and the WOCP are your installation, configuration,
and management tools. Each tool is designed to best perform certain tasks, with some function
overlap. If more than one tool can perform the task, use the tool with which you are most
comfortable.
• HP SmartStart EVA is an easy-to-use interface, with wizards designed for the initial
configuration of the EVA, its storage, the management server, and other servers that need
access to the EVA. This tool can be used to add additional servers to an existing EVA or
provision more storage to an existing server.
• HP Command View EVA is a full-function user interface, with tabs for all EVA configuration
and management tasks, including tabs for viewing system and status information.
• The WOCP is a limited-function user interface, with options to view system information and
performafewsystemtasks.
For additional information about these user interfaces, see Supported software tools.
Q: What are the EVA software licenses I need to purchase and install? How do I obtain these
licenses?
A: A license key is required to use HP Command View EVA and all of its features. For new
installations, a temporary, instant-on license key is provided so that you can immediately use
this tool. The instant-on key is valid for all arrays connected to a management server, with
unlimited capacity for 60 days from the first use. Upon expiration of the instant-on license
key, the features are disabled. You must obtain a permanent license key to continue using
the features. Available license keys include:
• HP Command View EVA license key—required to manage drives and disk groups
• HP Business Copy EVA license key—activates snapshot, snapclone, and mirrorclone features
• HP Continuous Access EVA license key—activates the remote data replication feature
• HP Command View EVA upgrade license—required if you are upgrading to a later version of
HP Command View EVA
Your License Entitlement Certificate provides three options to obtain a license key:
• Obtain a license key from the HP License Key Delivery Service website:

ttp://webware.hp.com.
• Fax the Password Request Form that came with your License Entitlement Certificate (see the
certificate for fax numbers in your area).
• Call or e-mail the HP Password Center (see the License Entitlement Certificate for telephone
numbers and e-mail addresses in your area).
For additional information, see the HP Command View EVA website: h

Q: How do I know a license is installed correctly?
A: HP Command View EVA includes simplified license management that allows customers to
effectively keep track of all licenses. HP Command View EVA displays the current license status of
an array. If a license is installed correctly, the status for a particular feature displays as “Valid”.
If the license is temporary, the expiration date is displayed.
