Managing The Disk Array; Disk Array Management Connections - HP StorageWorks XP20000/XP24000 - Disk Array Owner's Manual

Managing the disk array

The Remote Web Console software allows browser-based management of a single disk array. You
can install the optional HP StorageWorks XP Array Manager software and the HP StorageWorks
Command View XP Advanced Edition software on an optional management server to enable additional
management capabilities, including the ability to manage multiple arrays. You can also install other
HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array software on the management server.
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 software you plan to deploy. To protect your security,
the disk array management software does not have access to user data stored on the disk array. The
management server connects to the disk array(s) using an Ethernet LAN connection, as shown in
Figure 10.
