Management Server - HP StorageWorks XP12000 Owner's Manual

Management server

XP12000 Hardware
The management server is a Windows-based host connected to the array via
a private LAN connection. HP Command View XP and HP LUN
Configuration and Security Manager XP are required for you to monitor
and manage disk array operations and are installed on the management
server. Additional HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array software may also be
installed on this host; see
software products.
To protect your security, Command View XP for the management server
does not have access to any user data stored on the disk array.
Specific hardware requirements for the management server (such as
processor speed, storage capacity, and memory) vary depending on the
optional software installed and the number of DKUs in the array. You may
use an existing host (such as your storage administrator's PC) as the
management server, provided that it meets system requirements for the
required and optional software and your array configuration.
The management server can be connected to up to eight disk arrays using a
private LAN connection, as shown in
Chapter 4 for information on optional HP
Figure 4.
