iSCSI/FCoE module
The iSCSI/FCoE module is configured in a dual-controller configuration in the HP P63xx/P65xx
EVA. See Figure 43 (page 74). Dual-controller configurations provide for high availability with
failover between iSCSI/FCoE modules. All configurations are supported as redundant pairs only.
iSCSI connected servers can be configured for access to one or both controllers. For information
about P63xx/P65xx EVA Fibre Channel support, see “P6000/EVA storage system rules” (page
221). For information about P63xx/P65xx EVA 1-GbE iSCSI support, see “iSCSI storage” (page
318).
