2. Verify that the firmware revision for the EVA array is installed. EVA 3000/5000 firmware revision: 3.100 or 4.007 EVA 4000/6000/8000 firmware revision: 6.100 Contact HP Service and Support to obtain the latest firmware version for your storage array. If you update the firmware, be sure to reboot the system after the update before you continue. 3. Install multipath software (SecurePath or HP MPIO DSM). HP SecurePath version: 4.

5. Install SecurePath Manager (optional). If you use SecurePath, and want to install SecurePath Manager, see “Secure Path Manager (optional)” on page 11. SecurePath Manager (optional) SecurePath Manager provides web-based management capability for cross-platform SecurePath configurations. This application displays a graphical representation of multiple path configurations, indicating the status of a user-defined set of hosts, storage systems, and paths.
Figure 1 Expanding a LUN (Smart Array only) NOTE: The Expand Array task is listed only if there is an unassigned physical drive on the controller. The unassigned drive must also have a capacity no less than that of a drive in an existing array. If these conditions are not fulfilled, install at least one suitable drive on the controller, and then click Refresh. There are two scenarios to adding storage for array expansion (Smart Array storage only): • Add an unassigned physical disk to the array.
Expanding storage for Enterprise Virtual Arrays (single node environment) The act of presenting a virtual disk makes it available for use by a host. You can present a virtual disk to a host during or after virtual disk creation. The virtual disk must be completely created before the host presentation can occur. If you choose host presentation during virtual disk creation, the management agent cannot complete any other task until that virtual disk is created and presented.
