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

Single-pathing
(Single
HBA per host)
Single-pathing (or single HBA per host) support is provided for all supported operating systems (but may
be version dependent). Use of single-pathing, which does not offer a redundant path option, should be
used with care. Failure of the single HBA will result in loss of access for that host until the HBA is
replaced.

The EVA4400 provides one of the highest density disk storage solutions in its class of product. The
EVA4400 can be configured in 18U of rack space with eight 2U 12-bay M6412A FC disk enclosures for
a maximum capacity of 96 disk drives and a maximum storage capacity of 96 TB of disk capacity. The
EVA4400 supports the HP 10000 G2 series racks.

The EVA supports 72 GB dual ported fibre channel enterprise solid state drives (SSDs). The EVA arrays
support mixed drive types (solid state drives, high performance, and FATA) within an enclosure, The solid
state drives require their own disk group. The minimum number of SSDs supported is 6 and the
maximum is 8 per array.
SSD are supported with Vraid 5 only. SSDs are supported with Business Copy EVA, but are not currently
supported with Continuous Access EVA.

The EVA supports the 300/450/600GB Reduced Power 10K rpm dual-ported 4 Gb/s FC disk drives.
The EVA4400 supports up to 96 disk drives. The EVA4400 array supports single or mixed drive
capacities and types (SSDs, 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 with in the group. A minimum of eight high performance Fibre
Channel drives are required in a configuration.
