HP P6000 Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide (5697-2274, November 2012)

HP P6000 Command View uses
HP P6000 Command View is used to create vdisks and configure the HP P6000/EVA storage
system. Using HP P6000 Command View, you can:
• Create P6000 Continuous Access DR groups.
• Use Replication Solutions Manager or P6000 Command View to view a graphical
representation of a DR group setup.
• Use Replication Solutions Manager or P6000 Command View to manually switch source and
destination roles of DR group members.
SSSU considerations
You must use the SSSU to set the access mode of the destination vdisk to read-only. You can also
use SSSU to:
• Create vdisks and DR groups in a convenient automated fashion by using custom scripts.
• Capture your HP P6000/EVA storage system configuration setup.
IP network considerations
Because P6000 Command View and HP SMI-S are essential resources for P6000 Cluster Extension,
HP recommends that you provide reliable network connections for cluster-node-to-management
server communications. HP also recommends that you use the redundant network connections of
the management server for alternative access.
SAN fabric considerations
The management servers use the SAN to communicate with the P6000/EVA storage system. Make
sure that the management servers are configured to access both fabrics and P6000/EVA arrays
in the P6000 Continuous Access configuration.
