This course provides training for the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array family, including the EVA 4000/6000/8000 series. The course describes hardware components and functions in detail, including the HSV controller, disk drive enclosure, Fibre Channel loop switch, and management server. Details are provided on how the Enterprise Virtual Array storage system implements virtualization and instructions are given on how to set up, configure, and manage the storage system and hosts using Command View EVA software. This course also describes how error messages are generated and analyzed, and provides basic diagnostic, performance, and troubleshooting resources. Hands-on laboratories are included to correlate with the classroom materials.
