About this documentation
2 Working with the WOCP WOCP features The HP EVA web-based operator control panel (WOCP) is primarily intended for use by system administrators and service personnel. When you log in as an administrator, the Administrator options, Service options, and User options are available. When you log in as a user, only the User options are available. The following menu options are available in the WOCP. Administrator options These options allow administrators to view and change storage system settings.
Accessing a WOCP Every HP EVA4400 storage system includes WOCP functionality. To access the WOCP for a given storage system, you must know the IP address of the system. Procedure 1. Open a browser. 2. Browse to https://HP EVA storage system IP address:2372. The WOCP login window appears. Example: https://21.44.63.101:2372 3. Log in as an HP EVA user or HP EVA administrator. (User name user or admin. No password is required. The WOCP GUI appears.
Example Selecting text on the View Message Logs page. Confirming system alerts In rare cases when a storage system is not in a normal state and requires intervention, an alert message can appear in the WOCP. Review the message and select an action. Considerations • You must be logged in as an administrator to see and act on the alert messages. Procedure 1. Review the message and alternative actions. 2. Click Yes or No as appropriate. EVA Web-based Operator Control Panel 1.
Example Connecting to the management module (initial setup) This topic addresses initially setting the EVA4400 storage system IP address and connecting to the storage system management module. Once set up and connected, you can browse to the WOCP. See also Reestablishing the storage system IP address. Considerations • You cannot save changes in the management module configuration if the EVA4400 storage system is not running or has not been initialized. See Initialization and uninitialization.
IMPORTANT: When your LAN is part of a public network, HP recommends that you temporarily disconnect from the public network while performing this procedure. 1. If currently connected, disconnect the public network LAN cable from the back of the management module in the controller enclosure. 2. Press and hold the recessed Reset button for 4 to 5 seconds. This sets an IP address of 192.168.0.1 in private address space.
7. Click Save Changes. The IP address changes immediately, causing you to lose connectivity to the WOCP. The new IP address is stored and remains in effect, even when the storage system is later shut down or restarted. IMPORTANT: The new IP address will be lost if the storage system is later uninitialized or the management module is reset. 8. Remove the LAN cable to the private network or laptop and reconnect the cable to the public network. 9.
5. Click Save Changes. The IP address changes immediately, causing you to lose connectivity to the WOCP. The new IP address is stored and remains in effect, even when the storage system is later shut down or restarted. IMPORTANT: The new IP address will be lost if the storage system is later uninitialized or the management module is reset. 6. From a computer on the private network, browse to https://new IP address:2372 and log in. The WOCP GUI appears.
Considerations • You cannot save changes in the management module configuration if the EVA4400 storage system is not running or has not been initialized. See Initialization and uninitialization. • You can connect to the management module through a private or public network. See Private and public networks. IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you connect the management module through a private network, or configure it behind a firewall or proxy server. • You will need to access the back of the storage system.
4. Browse to https://192.168.0.1:2372 and log in as an HP EVA administrator. The default user name is admin. No password is required. The WOCP GUI appears. IMPORTANT: If you change the password for the administrator or user account for the WOCP, be sure to record the new passwords since they cannot be cleared without resetting the management module. HP recommends that you change the default passwords. 5. Select Administrator Options > Configure Network Options. 6.
3. Select Administrator Options > Configure Network Options. 4. Enter a new IP address and other network settings that apply. IMPORTANT: IP addresses 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 are not supported. See Private and public networks. 5. Click Save Changes. The IP address changes immediately, causing you to lose connectivity to the WOCP. The new IP address is stored and remains in effect, even when the storage system is shut down or restarted.
Procedure To set or view the policy: 1. Select Administrator Options > Configure Controller Device Ports. 2. Select a controller. The policy appears in the Automatic Loop Recovery box. 3. If necessary, change the policy and click the Save Changes button. Setting host ports topology The topology for the storage system’s host ports can be set to Fabric or Direct. Fabric refers to topologies in which hosts are connected to the HP EVA storage system via t switches.
Considerations • You must be logged in as an HP EVA administrator. Procedure 1. Select Administrator Options > Configure Controller Device Ports. 2. Select a controller. 3. Click Unbypass All.
3 EVA storage system concepts Controllers A storage system contains a redundant pair of disk array controllers that manage storage system operation and serve as the physical interface to the SAN. All host I/O and management commands from HP Command View EVA are processed by the controller pair. More information on controllers is in HP StorageWorks 4400 Enterprise Virtual Array user guide. See related documentation. Controller type identification HP EVA controller identification format is HSVxxx.
• HP Command View EVA. This software provides management of multiple HP EVA storage systems from a single management server, including provisioning of storage to servers and instant replication of storage volumes. • HP Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU). This software provides comprehensive command line support, server-to-storage system communication, and tools for automating storage related tasks. • HP Command View EVAPerf.
Management module HP EV4400 storage systems contain a hardware component called the management module. The module includes an RJ45 jack for connecting the storage system to your LAN (Ethernet network). It also includes the firmware that runs the WOCP. The management module provides access to service data via the WOCP and is always active, even when the controller enclosure is in standby mode. Management module firmware Management module firmware can be updated using the WOCP.
World Wide Name (WWN) A World Wide Node Name (WWN) is a globally unique 64-bit identifier assigned to each device in a Fibre Channel storage area network. WWNs are typically displayed as four-character hexadecimal groups. Example: 3600-5B64-C92E-2EC1.
