Installing and configuring the disk array

Installing and formatting devices
After these tasks are finished, use XP Remote Web Console, P9000 or XP Command View Advanced
Edition Software, or XP Array Manager to complete the remaining disk array configuration tasks.
If you do not have these programs, your HP service representative can perform these tasks for you.

Defining the paths

Use P9000 or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software or XP Remote Web Console (shown)
to define paths between hosts and volumes (LUNs) in the disk array.
