RAID Manager command devices

HP StorageWorks P9000 RAID Manager Software manages HP StorageWorks XP Business Copy
Software or HP StorageWorks XP Continuous Access Software operations from a host server. To use
RAID Manager, you must designate at least one LDEV as a command device. This can be done with
P9000 or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software or Remote Web Console. For information
about how to designate a command device, see the applicable user guide.
Creating scripts to configure all devices at once may save you considerable time.
