The EVA 5000 offered larger storage capacity and host connectivity options while based on similar hardware and controller software. <\/p>\n<p>An EVA 3000 usually consists of a dual-controller head (2x HSV100) running StorageWorks Virtual Controller Software (VCS) attached to 1-4 M5314A expansion arrays (also called shelves \/ drawers.) Each shelf can hold 14 drives. <\/p>\n<p>An EVA 5000 consists of up to (8) HSV110 controllers. M5314A expansion arrays can be installed in the main cabinet and optional utility cabinet to support up to 240 disk modules.<br \/>\n (Note that the EVAs using only 2x controllers can support up to 240 drives. Models with 8 controllers support less drives due to space limitations in the cabinet.)\n <\/p>\n<p>High speed fibre channel and low-cost FATA (Fibre-ATA Hybrid) drives can be mixed within the same shelf, but not the same RAID group. The highest capacity disks supported by the EVA 3000 \/ 5000 are 500GB &#8220;FATA&#8221; modules or 300GB 15K Fibre Channel modules. <\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>VCS Version<\/td>\n<td>New Drives Supported<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3.110<\/td>\n<td>AG425A \/ AG425B: 300GB 15K RPM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4.007<\/td>\n<td>400GB and 500GB FATA*<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td> <\/td>\n<td>*According to HP compatibility matrices, VCS 3.110 should support 400GB and 500GB FATA drives, though VCS 4.007 is the recommended minimum controller code for these drives. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"isn-lp-side\">\n<section class=\"isn-lp-box\">\n<h3>EVA Options<\/h3>\n<h4>Disk Drives<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/AG883A\">1TB 7200RPM FATA <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/AP751A\">600GB 15K FC <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/AP730A\">600GB 10K FC <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/370790-B22\">500GB 7.2K FATA <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/AG804A\">450GB 15K FC <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/AP729A\">450GB 10K FC <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/382241-B22\">400GB 7.2K FATA <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/AG425A\">300GB 15K FC <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/364622-B22\">300GB 10K FC <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/364437-B22\">250GB FATA <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/364621-B22\">146GB 15K FC<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/293556-B21\">146GB 10K FC<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Need other EVA Options?<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/rfq.php\">Request a quote<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"isn-lp-box\">\n<h3>EVA Documents<\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/servermanuals\/eva_firmware_rev.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">VCS &amp; Disk Firmware<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/servermanuals\/eva_diskreplacement.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Disk Replacement Guide<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/servermanuals\/eva_userguide.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">4&#215;00\/6&#215;00\/8&#215;00 User Guide<\/a><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"isn-lp-box\">\n<h3>EVA  Spare Parts<\/h3>\n<h4>Spare Disk Drives<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/454416-001\">454416-001 <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/531995-001\">531995-001 <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/518737-001\">518737-001 <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/371142-001\">371142-001 <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/454415-001\">454415-001 <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/518736-001\">518736-001 <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/382262-001\">382262-001 <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/416728-001\">416728-001 <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/366023-002\">366023-002 <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/366023-001\">366023-001 <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/366022-002\">366022-002 <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/366022-001\">366022-001 <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/366024-002\">366024-002<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/366024-001\">366024-001<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/300590-002\">300590-002<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Need other EVA Spares?<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/rfq.php\">Request a quote<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disk Drives Power Supplies Expansion Arrays Controllers Overview The HP Enterprise Virtual Array 3000 was the first entry level &#8220;EVA,&#8221; a mid-range Fibre Channel SAN solution that superceded the EMA line of storage systems.
