1 Reviewing and confirming your plans

Overview

Before installing the P6300/P6500 EVA, HP recommends that you:

•

Develop an installation and configuration plan for your Fibre Channel FC-SAN and/or Ethernet
IP-SAN environments.

•

Review all videos and documentation.

•

Determine if the FC host ports will be fabric-attached (N port connected to a Fibre Channel
switch) or direct-attached (NL port connected to a Fibre Channel adapter in a server or to a
bridge). The P6300/P6500 EVAs are factory configured for fabric-attached. To change to
direct-attached mode, see

“Connecting to the management module” (page 48)

.

•

Determine if the IP SAN will be lossy or lossless and if iSCSI and/or FCoE are being supported.

Prerequisites

Prerequisites for using this product include:

•

A Fibre Channel switch installed in your environment for fabric-attached configurations

•

An equipment cabinet suitable for 2U sized enclosures

•

A 1 GbE or 10 GbE Ethernet switch, if you configure the P6300/P6500 EVA 1 GbE iSCSI
modules (or iSCSI modules) or the 10 GbE iSCSI/FCoE modules (or iSCSI/FCoE modules) as
iSCSI targets

•

A converged network switch, if you configure the P6300/P6500 EVA 10 GbE iSCSI/FCoE
modules as iSCSI/FCoE targets, and separately configured iSCSI and FCoE VLANs

•

One of the following is required for P6300/P6500 EVA management:

A management server running Windows for HP P6000 Command View software
(server-based management); the management server should have either an FC HBA, a 1
GbE iSCSI initiator, a 10 GbE iSCSI initiator, or a converged network adapter

◦

◦

A management module running HP P6000 Command View software (array-based
management)

•

A CD-ROM drive attached to either the management server or the server attached to the
management module

•

Cat5E or Cat6 cabling to the 1 GbE iSCSI module data ports

•

For connections to the controller 10GbE iSCSI/FCoE module data ports, HP recommends a)
10GbE SFP+ optical transceivers with optical Fibre Channel cables (PremierFlex or OM3
cables) when connecting outside of the cabinet, or b) 10GbE SFP+ copper cabling when
connecting inside of the cabinet. See the P6000 QuickSpecs for SFP and cable part numbers.

Plan your storage configuration

Proper planning of the system storage and its subsequent performance is critical to a successful
deployment of the EVA. Improper planning or implementation can result in wasted storage space,
degraded performance, or inability to expand the system to meet growing storage needs. Planning
considerations include:

•

System and performance expectations

•

Striping methods

•

RAID levels
