EVM Client Planning

What Does the EVM Client Do?

The EVM Client provides:

 

What Does the EVM Client Installation Include?

When you perform the EVM Client installation from the CD-ROM, only the functionality for the EVM Client is installed on the computer. This process includes the loading of program files, setting up initialization files and creating program and job directories.


IMPORTANT: Do not perform the EVM Server installation and the EVM Client installation on the same computer.


 

Does It Matter Which Computers are EVM Clients?

Yes. For a computer to be selected and included in an EVM job, it must have EVM Client functionality. For every computer on the EVM Network, other than the EVM Server, this requires that you perform the EVM Client installation. See EVM Client Example.

 

Must an EVM Client be Connected to the StorageWorks Subsystem?

Yes. To have an EVM job mount a new BCV unit on a computer, the computer must be connected to the StorageWorks subsystem. Also, any computer that you would include in an EVM job, in order to use EVM's Application I/O Handler, would already be connected to the subsystem.
