HP StorageWorks Continuous Track XP

XP10000 hardware
The SVP is a blade PC inside the primary rack that does the following:
• Collects performance data on the disk array for diagnostic testing and
analysis; see "Service information messages"
• Provides your HP support representative with access to the disk array
• Allows you to manage the disk array using built-in Remote Web
Console software accessed from a web browser on a remote host
Your HP support representative uses the SVP to configure, maintain, and
upgrade the disk array software and hardware.
For extreme availability requirements, an optional second SVP is available.
To manage multiple XP disk arrays, you can install an optional Device
Manager server running optional Command View Advanced Edition
software (page 35).
The primary rack must contain at least four hard disk drives and can contain
up to 60 drives in the R0 basic disk chassis. For more information, see
"Disk drives" (page 33)
Continuous Track XP is a program in the disk array that detects and reports
problems even before they are noticed by operators and users.
Continuous Track XP "phones home" to the HP Storage Technology Center
(STC), providing:
• Periodic "well" checkups
This checkup records the health of the disk array on a day-to-day
basis. Every 24 hours, Continuous Track XP calls STC (your HP
support representative sets the time of the call). When a successful
connection is made, status and configuration change information is
transferred from the disk array to STC.
