The HP StorageWorks Business Copy is a local replication application for the EVA family. It incorporates
Virtually Capacity-free Snapshot (Vsnaps), standard snapshots and Snapclone capabilities. Business
Copy EVA creates point-in-time copies of storage volumes, called Business Continuance Volumes (BCVs)
using the snapshot and cloning capabilities of the array firmware and provides multi-array local mirror
management. This product is indispensable for critical data center operations such as non-disruptive
backups, frequent snapshots of high value databases, and data mining. The bottom line benefits include
improved disk capacity utilization and increased business continuity, data availability, and productivity
savings. Additional features include licensing based on replicated (not total raw) capacity and a new
improved management interface.

Expanding the power of the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA), the HP StorageWorks
12000 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway accelerates backup performance in complex SAN
environments while improving overall reliability. Integrating seamlessly into existing backup applications
and processes by emulating popular tape libraries and tape drive formats, the HP VLS12000 EVA
Gateway matches the existing data protection environment, removing the need to change backup
software or monitoring policies. Additionally, because the VLS EVA Gateway uses HP EVAs as the storage
pool, ease of use is maintained throughout the system. By emulating multiple tape drives simultaneously,
more backup jobs can be done in parallel resulting in reduced backup times and, because the data
resides on disk, single file restores are exceptionally fast.
The HP Virtual Library System EVA Gateway simplifies your SAN environment by providing more virtual
devices and leveraging existing switches and HP EVA infrastructure. The result is the ability to vastly
increase scale yet reduce the complexity of shared storage while maintaining the manageability of the
system. As your environment changes, the HP Virtual Library System EVA Gateway adapts to it - host
masking and mapping ensure that only the appropriate hosts have access to the HP Virtual Library
System.
The HP Virtual Library System EVA Gateway offers advanced features such as Automigration which
allows users to move data under the control of the VLS from the VLS storage to tape or another VLS. The
VLS EVA Gateway will also be able to take advantage of data deduplication when that feature is
launched in early 2008. For more information on the VLS EVA Gateway, please visit the link below:

EVA iSCSI Connectivity
EVA4400 iSCSI support is available through the EVA4400 iSCSI Connectivity Option. This powerful
solution provides iSCSI connectivity to an EVA4400 utilizing the EVA's existing Fibre Channel
infrastructure.
The HP StorageWorks EVA4400 iSCSI Connectivity Option extends the advantages of Fibre Channel
SANs into smaller departments and remote locations. This EVA4400 option allows customers to
incorporate iSCSI servers within SANs without requiring additional storage arrays or management costs.
Use the EVA's Command View software to manage the iSCSI connectivity to the array and mount the
iSCSI device in the same rack as the array. For small-SAN deployment the EVA4400 Starter Kit with the
iSCSI Connectivity Option provides an affordable, robust and highly available simple iSCSI solution for
smaller budgets.
For more information and operating system support:
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/evaiscsiconnect/index.html
The EVA also supports select ProLiant Storage Servers (i.e. NAS) connected as file/print/iSCSI gateways.
The ProLiant DL380 G5 x64 SAN Storage Server and DL585 G2 Storage Server each feature Microsoft's
Windows Unified Data Storage Server 2003 operating system that includes Microsoft iSCSI Software
Target standard, while other DL380 G5 Storage Server models offer optional support for Microsoft iSCSI
Software Target. Microsoft iSCSI Software Target leverages existing management expertise and
inexpensive Ethernet infrastructure to deliver IP-based block access to an EVA or Fibre Channel SAN. So
ProLiant Storage Servers with iSCSI target functionality not only add file and print services to your EVA
investment, but they help you save even more by enabling tiered (Fibre Channel and iSCSI) block access
for application servers.
In addition, any ProLiant DL380 G5 Storage Server or DL585 G2 Storage Server is a perfect platform
from which to run Command View EVA. You stretch your investment even further when you host EVA
management, file and print services, and iSCSI connectivity all from the same ProLiant Storage Server
gateway solution.

HP SIM is the foundation for HP's unified server-storage strategy -- it is packaged as value add software
with EVA, it's a 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:

The EVA also supports 146GB, 300GB, and 450GB 15K rpm dual-ported 4 Gb/s FC disk drives. The
EVA arrays will support single or mixed drive capacities and types (high performance and FATA) within
an enclosure. HP recommends using the same drive type (the same capacity) within a disk group
because virtualization allocates space proportionate to the highest capacity drive within the group. A
minimum of eight high performance Fibre Channel drives are required in a configuration.

The EVA supports 1TB dual ported 4 Gb/s Fibre Attached Technology Adapted (FATA) disk. An EVA will
support a full configuration of FATA disk drives. The EVA4400 Starter Kits and the EVA4400 can be
configured with any combination of FATA and high performance disk drives; total raw capacity will vary
based upon the redundancy (Vraid) selected. A minimum of eight FATA drives are required in a
configuration.
FATA drives are designed for lower duty cycle applications such as near on-line data replication for
back-up. These drives should not be used as a replacement for EVA's high performance, standard duty
cycle, Fibre Channel drives. Doing so could shorten the life of the drive.

Technology
The EVA4400 models are 4Gb/s FC Switched Fabric enabled and are compatible with 8Gb/s, 4Gb/s or
2Gb/s FC Switched Fabric SANs with XCS v9.0. They can co-exist in the same FC SAN with
EVA3000/5000 or EVA4x00/6x00/8x00 FC storage solutions and many other SAN devices. The
EVA4400 with embedded switch model is 8Gb/s FC ready with XCS v9.0. The embedded switch is an
8Gb/s, 10 port B-series SAN switch for a total of 20 ports per controller enclosure..
The EVA4400 takes advantage of the benefits of Fibre Channel (FC) in distance, performance and
connectivity. The use of optical Fibre cabling allows distances between connected segments of a SAN to
be up to 500 meters @ 1 Gb/s; 300 meters @ 2 Gb/s using short wave multi-mode, 150 meters @ 4
Gb/s and up to 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) @ 1 Gb/s when using long wave cable. Storage Area
Networks (SANs) can be constructed using FC switches/directors for fabric connectivity. HP
StorageWorks SAN B-series and C-series switches and directors provide exceptional connectivity while
increasing the effective bandwidth of the network. Supported SAN features include Zoning for
communication isolation and Inter-Switch Links (hops) up to 10 km.
