modules, FC interconnect cables between the internal modules, power cords for all modules, and
mounting hardware for all modules, installation and startup.
NOTE: EVA File Services are factory integrated and requires the purchase of an EVA4100, EVA6100 or
EVA8100.
The EVA- File Services integrates and simplifies providing a single storage solution for application
(block) and file data delivering high utilization and lower TCO
The EVA- File Services uses a single set of management tools that can be invoked from anywhere,
anytime, resulting in a very operationally efficient environment to manage.
Combining state-of-the-art application (block) data performance and file serving performance, that
can scale as needs dictate, the EVA- File Services offers customer's aggregate performance levels
far in excess of traditional file servers and NAS appliances.
With the EVA- File Services you never "run out of space" because additional capacity can be
added quickly and easily with any combination of high performance Fibre Channel and/or low
cost FATA drives.
EVA File Services uses state-of-the-art virtualization which improves performance, disk usage and
TCO while the single, shared pool of storage allows for easy dynamic expansion, which
automatically distributes data to avoid potential hot spots.
With fully redundant components such as SAN switches, array controllers, and file serving nodes
built into every unit, the EVA- File Services is perfect for demanding mid-range and enterprise
storage applications.

EVA with HP Systems
Insight Manager Software
Enclosed as an accessory with all StorageWorks arrays is HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM). HP SIM is
the foundation for HP's unified server-storage strategy -- it is packaged as a no-cost, customer installable
management application and is derived from the heritage of Compaq Insight Manager, HP Toptools, and
HP Servicecontrol. HP SIM runs on HP Windows, Linux, and HP-UX and provides discovery and
identification, fault management, security administration, asset reporting, and centralized configuration
management across heterogeneous servers, storage and infrastructure. HP SIM is easily extensible,
integrating other HP management products and value-add plug-ins such as the ProLiant Essentials, Integrity
Essentials, and Server Essentials.
HP SIM relies on industry standards like SMI-S, SNMP, SSH, WBEM, and WMI to detect and report
heterogeneous device attributes. HP SIM may also be configured to launch array specific applications for
configuration, reporting and replication. For more information on HP Systems Insight Manager see:

Clustered Server and High
Availability System
Support
Dual and multi-node cluster support is provided for host level fault tolerance and high system availability.
See the Operating System, Cluster and High Availability Compatibility table for operating system specific
support.
Multi-Server Shared
Support for Storage
Consolidation
Heterogeneous and homogeneous host support provides the ability to share storage between multiple
servers. The EVA provides storage access control (i.e. Selective Storage Presentation or LUN masking)
assuring that a host cannot access data belonging to a different host. SAN-based zoning is also
supported.
