Conﬁrming supportability of your conﬁguration

Installing and maintaining your EVA4400 in a conﬁguration that is supported by HP is an essential

part of ensuring the stability of your array. To conﬁrm support for your conﬁguration, verify that your

software, hardware, and driver versions are listed in the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array

compatibility reference.

As system needs grow, be sure to conﬁrm all conﬁguration changes with your HP sales representative or

authorized HP partners.

Check the HP website periodically for updates to the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array

compatibility reference. Testing of solutions, software, and driver versions is ongoing. As qualiﬁcations

are veriﬁed, the appropriate information in the document is updated. For additional information about

the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array compatibility reference,seeLocating documentation.

Accessing HP Command View EVA

HP Command View EVA is the primary user interface through which you conﬁgure, manage, and monitor

the Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) storage system, and is installed on your management server as a step

in the EVA4400 installation process. (For installation information, see the HP StorageWorks 4400

Enterprise Virtual Arra y installation guide, shipped with the EVA4400.)

Because HP Command View EVA is a browser-based application, access to the application must be

through a supported browser.

To access HP Command View EVA, do one of the following:

• From the management server on which HP Command View EVA is installed, click the shortcut icon

on the desktop.

• From other servers in the network, open your browser and navigate to the management server

by entering the following address: https://<host_name or IP_address>:2372,where

<host_name or IP_address> is the user-deﬁned alias name or IP address of the management

server.
