The control panel is your view to the disk array. Once the disk array is
powered on and running normally, there are no user operations required at
the control panel, except in case of a power failure recovery. The control
panel will be discussed in further detail later in this chapter.
The service processor (SVP) is a built-in PC connected inside the disk
control frame. The SVP gives your HP service representative a method to
access the software system on the disk array.
Your HP service representative uses the SVP to configure, maintain, and
upgrade your disk array software and hardware. The service processor also
collects performance data on the disk array for diagnostic testing and
analysis.
To protect the user's security, the SVP does not have access to any user data
stored on the disk array.
An optional service processor is available for users with extreme
availability requirements. This is not a required feature.
