HP ProLiant Cluster HA/F500 for Enterprise Virtual Array Enhanced DT Supplement Guide

Cluster Installation
Configuring the Software
The storage system must be initialized before it can be used. This process binds the
controllers together as an operational pair and establishes preliminary data structures
on the disk array.
Initialization is performed through the use of the Command View EVA. This
procedure is documented in the HP StorageWorks Command View EVA Getting
Started Guide. HP StorageWorks Command View EVA maintains a database that
resides on the management appliance and is accessible only by the element manager
for each storage system.
The Command View EVA software can be installed on more than one management
appliance in a fabric. Each installation of the Command View EVA software is a
management agent. The client for the agent is a standard browser.
To begin the configuration process, create, or initialize, the storage system. When
you first view the Enterprise Virtual Array from the HSV Element Manager software,
the storage pool is presented as “uninitialized storage.”
Before the host servers can use the virtual disks, you must:
•
•
•
Initialize the storage systems at both the source and destination. The storage pool
is “uninitialized storage” at the outset.
Add hosts to the storage system.
Create and present virtual disks to hosts.
