Disk controller
The disk controller is part of the basic disk array configuration housed in the primary
rack and controls disk array operation. It contains the control panel, connection
hardware, power supplies, SVP, and control boards for the disk array.
Service Processor (SVP)
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
•
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 XP Advanced Edition software.
