Required hardware components
•HP StorageWorks Disk Array: EVA disk array with a Windows workstation for running Command View EVA. If multiple EVA disk arrays are used with FRS, all must be managed from one Command View workstation.
•Windows VDS/VSS Server with Windows Server 2003 OS for connecting to the array. This primary server manages your primary data and contains applications (such as Exchange or SQL), VSS/VDS, and HP HWP.
•Windows Server 2 (optional): Another server may be connected to the array if you want to manage the VSS copies on the array volumes without burdening the VDS/VSS server. Depending on your purpose for this server, you may need to install the HP HWP and your application software.
•Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) in each server for connecting to the disk array via a Fibre Channel SAN.
•Fiber cables and fabric switch(es) to connect the hosts to the array.
•Ethernet Network Interface Cards or available network interface port in each server for connecting to Ethernet LAN. Important: The Windows Network Connections control panel Advanced Settings must be set to list first the network that provides communication between the FRS servers and the CV workstation.
