Server-based configuration | HP P6000 guide

IMPORTANT: HP P6000 Command View relies on the IP address assigned to the server for management lock verification. Therefore, the HP P6000 Command View server must have a unique IP address to ensure proper control locking.

Figure 1 (page 9) shows multiple HP EVA storage arrays and hosts in a Fibre Channel SAN being managed by one instance of server-based HP P6000 Command View on a management server. The management server is also connected to a LAN so that users and administrators can browse to the HP P6000 Command View interface.

HP P6000 Command View does not require hosts to be connected to the LAN. However, a LAN connection can be a requirement of other HP server-based applications.

Array-based management. The array-based version of HP P6000 Command View comes factory-installed on HP EVA4400, P6300 EVA, and P6500 EVA storage arrays. With these storage arrays, a separate management server is not required. Only one component of the software suite, HP P6000 Command View itself, is installed on a storage array. The other components of the software suite can be installed on a separate server. See Figure 2 (page 10).
