Configuring the EVA disk array

The following configuration steps are required for both VDS and VSS Hardware Providers. The current HWPs work with EVA Command View 6.0 or higher.

1.For the HWPs to access the CV server, you must create new user names and user groups at the operating system level on the CV server. In Windows, click Start > Control Panel > User Accounts.

2.Create the following two user groups:

Group

Description

HP Storage Users

Members can look at storage but cannot make changes

 

 

HP Storage Administrators

Members can use CV/EVA for all storage management tasks

 

 

3.Still in User Accounts, create new users within the new user groups. For example, you might create the following users:

User Account

Group

Hpuser

HP Storage Users

 

 

Hpadmin

HP Storage Administrators

 

 

HWP users must log in as one of these users before performing VDS/VSS operations using the HWP configuration utility.

4.Start EVA Command View and log into it using one of the user accounts you just created.
