1 Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the HP P6000 Command View software suite.
IMPORTANT: General references to HP P6000 Command View may also refer to earlier versions of HP Command View EVA. P6000 is the new branding for the Enterprise Virtual Array product family.
Prerequisites
HP P6000 Command View must be installed on at least one of the following:
•HP 4400 Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA4400), P6300 Enterprise Virtual Array (P6300 EVA), or P6500 Enterprise Virtual Array (P6500 EVA) management module
•
•Dedicated management server
•HP X1000/X3000 Network Storage Systems and Gateways
Earlier versions of HP P6000 Command View were required to be installed on a management server. HP P6000 Command View EVA and Command View EVA 8.1 or later is installed on the management module (9.4 or later on the P6300/P6500 EVAs), eliminating the need for a separate management server. Other arrays continue to require a management server.
