Best practices for deploying Command View EVA in a VM with VMDirectPath I/O
Deploy Command View EVA on the local datastore of the particular vSphere server.
If a SAN-based Command View EVA deployment is required, then deploy instances on multiple
arrays within the infrastructure to ensure the management interface remains available in the event
the array hosting the VM for the primary Command View EVA instance becomes inaccessible.
For information on configuring VMDirectPath for use with Command View EVA, refer to Appendix E –
Configuring VMDirectPath I/O for Command View EVA in a VM.
Using the Storage Module for vCenter
HP Insight Control Storage Module for vCenter is plug-in for vCenter Server that allows HP servers,
storage, and networking to be managed from a single pane of glass that is integrated into the
vSphere client.
Available at no cost from HP, the plug-in can be installed once for the entire vCenter environment
using a single, all-inclusive installer.
Key storage features of the plug-in include:
Monitoring the status and health of HP storage arrays
Providing detailed views of the relationships between the virtual and physical environment
Automated provisioning of datastores and VMs
– Adding, removing, and expanding datastores
– Creating VMs from templates on new datastores
– Using array-based snapshot and snap clone technologies to clone VMs
