•
Four 4 Gbps Fibre Channel-Switched fabric host ports (two host ports in HSV200-A or
HSV200-B controller)
•
Four 2 Gbps Fibre Channel drive enclosure device ports (two device ports in HSV200-A or
HSV200- B controller)
◦
Arranged in redundant pairs
◦
Data load/performance balanced across a pair
◦
Support for up to 240 disks with HSV210-A or HSV210-B and 112 with HSV200-A or
HSV200- B
•
2 GB cache per controller, mirrored, with battery backup (1-GB cache in HSV200-A or
HSV200- B controller)
•
2 Gbps FC cache mirroring ports with device port backups
•
Dual power supplies
In addition to managing the operation of the storage system, the HSV controllers serve as the
interface between the storage system hardware and the SAN. All host I/Os and all HP Command
View EVA management commands are processed by the controllers. Up to 18 drive enclosures
are supported by one controller pair.

shows the HSV210-A/B controller rear view.
Figure 20 (page 49)
shows the
HSV200-A/B controller rear view. The front view of both controllers is shown in
Figure 21 (page

.
NOTE:
The EVA4000/6000/8000 and EVA4100/6100/8100 use controllers with 2 Gb and
4 Gb host port capability. The 4 Gb controller can be distinguished from the earlier 2 Gb controllers
by the “-A” and “-B” suffixes used on the controller bezel. The 4 Gb EVA4000 and EVA6000
controllers are identified as the HSV200-A. The 4 Gb EVA4100 and EVA6100 are identified as
HSV200-B. The 4 Gb EVA8000 is identified as the HSV210-A and the 4 Gb EVA8100 is identified
as HSV210-B.
IMPORTANT:
To upgrade from an HSV200-A or HSV210-A controller to an HSV200-B or
HSV210-B controller, HP requires that you also upgrade the I/O modules (A and B) to AD623C
and AD624C on each shelf. If you are upgrading to an EVA6100 (HSV200-B) or EVA8100
(HSV210-B) and you do not already have the 30-10022-01 loop switches installed, you must also
upgrade the loop switches to 30-10022-01.
