1 Preparation
HP Command View EVA can be implemented in two ways: Server-based management HP Command View EVA is installed on a management server connected to the EVA, providing management of multiple HP EVA storage systems. All components of the software suite (HP Command View EVA, HP Command View EVAPerf, HP SSSU, HP SMI-S EVA), and HP Management Integration Framework are installed. Server-based management is applicable to all EVA models. Array-based management The EVA4400 is shipped with HP Command View EVA preinstalled on the management module in the controller enclosure. Only one component of the software suite (HP Command View EVA) is installed. Array-based management is applicable to the EVA4400 only (see Installing the software suite on the management module on page 21). NOTE: If you have an EVA4400 running HP Command View 8.0.x and want to move to array-based management, you can install HP Command View EVA 8.1 or later on the EVA4400. For descriptions of the software suite components and details about the kit contents, see HP StorageWorks Command View EVA CD Contents. For an explanation of acronyms and terms, see the Glossary on page 73. You will need the following documents to complete the installation: HP StorageWorks Command View EVA Release Notes HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference When you purchase HP Command View EVA, you can choose to receive a software CD or an E-Delivery kit. If you choose an E-Delivery kit, you will receive an email from HP with download instructions. NOTE: For E-Delivery kits, be sure to save the HP mail with the download instructions. You will need them if you need to download the software again. If you have a support contract with HP, you can download the software from the IT Resource Center (ITRC) as follows: 1. Go to http://www.itrc.hp.com.

Software suite
Before you install the software suite:
10
Preparation
Read the HP Command View EVA release notes for any installation or post-installation requirements specific to this release. Before installing HP Command View EVA, ensure that a minimum of 1 GB is available on the installation drive. Ensure that your environment includes: One or more EVAs. NOTE: If your environment includes iSCSI devices, see the HP StorageWorks EVA iSCSI Connectivity Quick Start Instructions for Windows for installation instructions, and the HP StorageWorks EVA iSCSI Connectivity User Guide for configuration information. A management server running a supported version of Microsoft Windows (see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference). If you use the VMware guest operating system, you must have a host running VMware 3.5 or later and a virtual machine connected to the VMware host running a supported version of Windows (the guest operating system on the virtual machine). See your operating system documentation for details about setting up a virtual machine. Installing, upgrading, and removing HP Command View EVA on a virtual machine is the same as installing HP Command View EVA on a management server (a physical machine). When using the VMware guest operating system, two methods are supported: Virtualized SCSI Mode: With this method, only the active path to LUN 0 of a single controller can be made visible to HP Command View EVA on the virtual machine. Virtualized SCSI Mode is enabled by default when you install HP Command View EVA 9.3 or later. VMDirectPath (PCI pass-through): Supported on HP Command View EVA 9.3 or later. See Table 4.0, HP StorageWorks EVA software deployment options, in the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference for VMDirectPath hardware requirements. To configure VMDirectPath, see the Configuration Examples and Troubleshooting for VMDirectPath Technical Note, which is available on the VMware website at: http://www.vmware.com/resources/techresources/10135 Do not install HP Command View on a virtual disk. Because HP Command View EVA is the sole management interface for the EVA, it must be available at all times. Installing HP Command View EVA on an EVA virtual disk can create a situation where a single failure could degrade not only the array but also the ability to manage the array to determine the problem. Install HP Command View EVA only on English and Japanese versions of the supported operating systems. This applies to all versions of HP Command View EVA. See the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference for a list of supported operating systems. Configure the browser settings for any server that will be used to access the HP Command View EVA user interface. For more information, see Configuring browser settings on page 47. For information about upgrading from previous versions, see Upgrading HP Command View EVA software on page 23. If you plan to use HP StorageWorks Management Integration Framework (MIF) software, note the following: The software is installed automatically when HP Command View EVA is installed. The software is intended primarily for security administrators. The software has two interfaces (Configuration and Security), which you can access from HP Command View EVA, or you can browse to each interface directly.
11
Accessing or browsing to either interface requires an Adobe Flash Player plug-in on the browser. You may need to install Management Group digital certificates to access these interfaces. See the HP StorageWorks Management Integration Framework Administrator Guide for more information.
HP SMI-S EVA
NOTE: If you have layered applications requiring HP SMI-S EVA, you can install the HP SMI-S EVA component on any server that is either connected to the EVA/SAN or has access to HP Command View EVA via the Ethernet. You can access the array-based version of HP Command View EVA using the Discoverer tool. Before you install HP SMI-S EVA, note the following: HP strongly recommends that you install HP Insight Remote Support software to complete the installation or upgrade of your product. For more information, see HP Insight Remote Support software on page 15. You can install HP SMI-S EVA separately; it does not need to be on the same management server as HP Command View EVA. However, if HP SMI-S EVA is installed on the same server, ensure that you are logged in to the management server as a local user with local administrative privileges (the user must be a member of the local Administrators group). Install SLP, which enables you to receive information about applications that are registered with it. For example, when CIMOM is registered with SLP, you can receive information about CIMOM, such as the CIMOM URL and attributes. You can install HP Command View EVA and HP SMI-S EVA on the same server as the HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition Software.
12
Preparation
Setting credentials
NOTE: The information in this section applies only to HP Command View EVA server-based management. For array-based management, there is one admin account and one user account. The default user name for the admin account is admin; for the user account, it is user. By default, there is no password for either account. See the web-based operator control panel user guide for information about changing account information. The existence of groups and users during software installation ensures: Authentication of users by login to the underlying operating system Assignment of predefined privileges to users NOTE: In this section, unless a reference is made to the HP Storage Users group, user refers to anyone who can access HP Command View EVA.
Management server
Groups are automatically created during the installation process. Alternatively, you can create them manually before initiating the software installation. The manual process for creating groups applies only if the management server is part of a domain or domain controller. This section describes the manual procedure. NOTE: In HP Command View EVA 8.0 or later, HP Command View EVA, HP SMI-S EVA, HP Command View EVAPerf, and HP Replication Solutions Manager use the same groups. To create groups and users on the management server: 1. You must have administrator privileges.
13
2.
Use the Windows operating system feature to create the following groups: HP Storage Admins HP Storage Users IMPORTANT: To ensure successful authorization of groups, you must create the group names exactly as described in this step. See your Windows documentation for instructions on creating groups and users. These groups are created for local authentication only. If the management server is part of a domain or domain controller, as administrator, you can create these groups manually and you can modify these group names during installation. These groups have the following default privileges: members of the HP Storage Admins group can view and perform all tasks; members of the HP Storage Users group can only view information.
3.
Create users and assign them to groups by entering a name and password for each user and assigning each user to a group. NOTE: Ensure that the User must change password at next logon option is not selected when creating users.
For information on configuring HP Command View EVA credentials, see Installing Management Group security certificates in the HP StorageWorks Management Integration Framework Administrator Guide.
14
Preparation
Ensure that your environment includes: An EVA4400 A server, running any operating system, that you can connect to the EVA4400 Configure the browser settings for any server that will be used to access the HP Command View EVA user interface. For more information, see Configuring browser settings on page 47.

Licensing
NOTE: Array-based management users will have read-only access to HP Continuous Access EVA features. Server-based management is required for full HP Continuous Access EVA functionality. Once installation is complete, you must have access to a license key to use all HP Command View EVA features. The product's License Entitlement Certificate provides instructions on how to obtain a license key. A temporary, instant-on license key is available in HP Command View EVA so that you can immediately start using it. The instant-on license is not enabled by default for HP Command View EVA array-based management, but is enabled by default when the HP Command View EVA software suite is installed on the management server (server-based management).
54
The instant-on license is valid for all arrays managed by an HP Command View EVA server, and it enables all features (HP Command View EVA, HP Business Copy EVA, and HP Continuous Access EVA) with unlimited capacity for 60 days from first use. Upon expiration of the instant-on license key, the features are disabled. You must obtain a permanent license key to continue to use the features. Available license keys include: HP Command View EVA General license keyRequired to manage drives and disk groups HP Business Copy EVA license keyActivates snapshot, snapclone, and mirrorclone features. HP Continuous Access EVA license keyActivates the data replication feature HP Command View EVA upgrade licenseRequired for any of the following: Adding licensed capacity Upgrading to a different array type
HP Command View EVA Data Migration licenseRequired to migrate data to a different array When a permanent license is installed, it takes effect immediately for the array. The supported capacity for the array is determined by the specific license that is installed. If you remove the permanent license during the instant-on license validity period, the instant-on characteristics (all features and unlimited capacity) are reinstated for the remainder of the 60-day evaluation period. Model upgrade and extended evaluation licenses are also available. License keys can be generated to cover the total raw capacity of each array. You can enter the license key before or after initializing the array. License keys are specific to an array and are not transferable. For information on licensing and obtaining keys, see the HP License Key Delivery Service at: https://webware.hp.com/Welcome.asp
Configuring the VMware guest operating system for HP Command View EVA
