Each system configuration contains several disk enclosures included in the storage system. See Figure for a typical EVA4400 rack configuration. The standard rack for the EVA4400 is the 42U HP 10000 G2 Series rack. The EVA4400 is also supported with 22U, 36U, 42U 5642, and 47U racks.
Each of the two PDU power cables has an AC power source specific connector. The circuit breaker-controlled PDU outputs are routed to a group of four AC receptacles (see Figure 18). The HP StorageWorks 4400 Enterprise Virtual Array user guide...
voltages are then routed to PDMs, sometimes referred to as AC power strips, mounted on the two vertical rails in the rear of the rack. 0130a 1. PDU 1 4. AC receptacles 2. PDU 2 5.

To ensure efficient storage system operation, reserve some unallocated capacity, or free space, in each disk group. The recommended amount of free space is influenced by your system configuration. For guidance on how much free space to reserve, see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array configuration best practices white paper. See Best practices.

I/Os. Implicit LUN transition is disabled for all members of an HP Continuous Access EVA DR group. Because HP Continuous Access EVA requires that all members of a DR group be managed by the same controller, it would be necessary to move all members of the DR group if excessive proxy reads were detected on any virtual disk in the group.

Failure scenarios HP-UX Fault stimulus Failure effect Server failure (host power-cycled) Extremely critical event on UNIX. Can cause loss of system disk. Short term: Data transfer stops.

Fault stimulus Failure effect If the LUN is not shared, I/O is suspended or process is terminated across this HBA until path is restored. If running OpenVMS 7.3-1 and the LUN is shared, another cluster node having direct access will take over serving the device, resulting in no loss of service. Server path failure In either case, no data is lost or corrupted.
