Configuring the HPE EVA Array

For IntelliSnap backups from Commvault software, add the HPE EVA storage array and its configuration information to the CommServe database.

Before You Begin

Ensure that the client and proxy computers are configured and have access to the array.

Start the Configuration Wizard

  1. From the navigation pane, click Manage > Infrastructure.

    The Infrastructure page appears.

  2. Click Arrays.

  3. On the Arrays page, click Add.

    The General page of the Add Snap Array configuration wizard appears.

General

  1. From the Snap vendor list, select HPE EVA.

  2. In the Array name box, enter the World Wide Name (WWN) of the array node, which is the serial number for the HPE EVA storage device. Type the array name without dashes (for example, 50014380025DEB70).

  3. In the Control host box, enter the name of the management server of the array.

    Note

    Enter the server name only, not the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or the TCP/IP address.

    • To select all the available MediaAgents as access nodes, click SELECT ALL.
