Supported external storage

The disk array connects to the following external storage systems and can provide access to and
management of external volumes:
• HP StorageWorks XP48, XP128, XP256, XP512, XP1024, XP10000, and XP12000 disk arrays

For more information about HP external storage, see the HP StorageWorks XP External Storage for
XP12000/XP10000 Disk Arrays and SVS 200.

Web-based array management

The disk array comes with HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console, a browser-based interface
that runs on the SVP and enables you to manage individual disk arrays. To manage multiple arrays
simultaneously, the optional HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition Software runs
on a single Windows-based server and can be accessed using remote web clients.

HP StorageWorks XP Continuous Track

HP XP Continuous Track (C-Track) is a remote support solution that detects and reports problems even
before they are noticed by operators and users. C-Track transmits heartbeats, system information
messages (SIMs), and configuration information to HP Storage Technology Centers (STCs) for remote
data collection and monitoring. C-Track also enables the STC to remotely diagnose issues and perform
maintenance, if you permit remote access.
The C-Track solution offers Internet connectivity and modem connectivity. If you choose the Internet-based
remote support solution, additional infrastructure and site preparation are required. This additional
preparation may include server and router requirements, which you and HP may be responsible for
implementing. For more information about the C-Track Internet-based solution, contact an HP
representative.
