Community String Requirements
• The default community string for Command View EVA 6.x is Public and the default community
string for HP Storage Essentials is public. The community strings must be a case-sensitive
match, so if you are using the default values in HP Storage Essentials and Command View EVA
6.x, you must change the community strings to a case-sensitive match.
• If you are using the default community strings for Command View EVA 7.x and HP Storage
Essentials, no changes to the community strings are needed. If you change the community strings
to non-default values, then they must be a case-sensitive match.
CAUTION: Other applications (such as HP SIM) may be using the default community strings
to communicate with Command View EVA. If you change the community string in Command
View EVA, you might break Command View EVA’s connection to other applications. If a
change is needed, we recommend changing the community string in Storage Essentials to
match the string in Command View EVA.
