Hi,
It seems that the P800 controller drivers and management software are not suported in Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter.
Are there any alternatives other than a hyper-v 2008 server?

Expanding vDisk in EVA
I am hoping someone can help me.
I am fairly new to HP Storage and my company has two large HP SAN's running the EVA interface. I have recently added new disks to one and expanded some of the vDisks fine. I am trying to now expand a vDisk on the other SAN (which I have not added new disks to, but has over 3 TBs of free storage) and when I type in the new 'Requested' storage figure, it asks me to confirm deletion of the vDisk.
It did not do this on my previous expansion, and the deletion question has rather put me off trying to expand this. Why would it be asking me to delete?
Wrong fiber cable used in a cluster
Hi,
I have an HP clustered storage infrustructure, my engineer use a wrong cable to attach to the nexus switch. And add to the volue. Once the re-striping started I got an an error message E0060100 EID: Latency_status_Excessive and another error E00060205: EID_S_Server_Status_Overloaded. After 3 days the restriping is 5% in the volume. Is it possible to change the cable one by one with the right cable. Am afried not to loose my storage. ALB is configured in the NIC.
What cables to use
Hello Forum,
Kind of newbie question, but we've bought a P6550 and 2 EVA4400's
On the P6550 controllers are 4 FC, and 2 SAS ports per controller.
The FC ports are to connect/provide access to servers, and the SAS ports to connect the EVA4400.
Only thing is, cables to EVA are missing and I cant figure out which type to use.
There are Y cables and normal ones
Can anyone provide info on what types are compatible and what is the better option?
or must it always be Ycables?
Tnx

Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch: FOS 6.0.x
I was recently trying to upgrade the Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch (5480) used by our C-Class Blade Enclosure, and I'm having difficulties finding the correct Fabric OS versions I'll need to upgrade. We're currently on FOS 6.2.0d, and I need a few different versions of 6.0.x until I can jump into FOS 7.0.x, however I'm unable to find them anywhere. I can't find them posted on Brocade's website, HPE Support Center (only showing 7.0.x versions), or elsewhere on the web.
I found a support article (https://community.hpe.com/t5/Storage-Area-Networks-SAN/firmware-brocade-6-0-1a-where-is-it/td-p/5211181) which is from 2011, which says HP has removed them from HPE Support Center and the HP FTP site, and that I should contact HP to have them upload these versions and provide me with links. We're definitely no longer under a support contract, so I'm at a bit of a loss.
Are we stuck on 6.2.0d forever because the files I need simply don't exist? I understand products can't be supported indefinitely, although it would be nice if legacy downloads were always available.

Management module on EVA4400 troubleshooting
We have an issue with an EVA4400 with a non-responsive management module. The unit had a power outage, but there are no problems with data or data access.
It looks like my only troubleshooting option is to reset it. Can somebody confirm for me that this is not going to cause issues with the data?
Resetting EVA 4400 Management Module Not working
Hi...
As mentioned in the title I'm having troubles resetting my EVA Management Module, I tried restarting the module, reseting it and pulling it out and re-pluging it again but I'm still unable to ping its default IP.
This EVA was working since very long time and its management module was never connected to our network, so it still on its default ip settings which as mentioned in the Manual are: 192.168.0.1/24, the LEDs on the management modules are all green yet there is no network traffic on the management port.
Your help is very appreciated...
Thanks

Command View License Purchase
Hi Guys,
Looking for some advice on EVA4400/EVA8400 in particular the command view software.......I have a few pallets of both EVA Systems that i need to test, i have downloaded the demo for P6000 Command view but it will run out shortly......
I have a quote to license it to make it legit and obviously to allow me to continue testing the EVA's which is priced at around 7,000 pounds (uk)........now these units are not being put into serviceall i am doing is checking they function properly for re-sell so i am not wanting to pay that amount of money just for a quick 10 mins test/setup, is there another software suite anyone could reccomend that i could use which would allow me to check the functionality on the units and not so expensive.............any help or advice would be very much appreciated.........

Storageworks Command view EVA, no storage systems are available.
When I connect to the EVA, I get the above message saying that there is no storage systems available. We have changed the network switches this past weekend and it seems to conincide with that. No fiber was touched, just RJ-45. The storgae system is still available on the network since my backups are still working, this had been previously configured to be seen in the backup server. It seems the problem is with the management console, but I can't figure it out. I have restarted the command view service multiple times without success and also have reset the NIC on the controller by taking it out and inserting it back in. This unit is connected to the fiber on our hp enclosure C7000 and all was working before this switch change. Can someone assist ?
HP EVA6500 Mirror clone best practices
We are planning to take Mirror clone of a VDisk to different DG.
Detach the original Vdisk and present the Mirror clone Vdisk to the server. Do we need any down time for this or precautions to be taken care.
HSV 300 (EVA 4400) Read Only System
We have a StorageWorks HSV 300. After installing 8 drives (6 600GB and 2 450 GB) and intializing the system, we get an error trying to manage it. Using the Command View EVA on a management server and the management module the result is the same: "Unable to perform command. Please Try again." With SSSU there's a little bit more info: "Error storage cell is managed by another agent". But here is the strage part, the management agent is the exact same agent from where we are trying to manage the system. After trying to execute all commands suggested here and on google with the same result, we decided to ask for your help guys. The commands the we have tried are (replacing system_name with the actual name of the system):
SET SYSTEM system_name MANAGE
DELETE SYSTEM system_name
SELECT MANAGER management_agent USERNAME=user PASSWORD=pass
There is no data on the disks so, a full restore could be the solution here.
Any ideas?
Thanks
