Web-based array management
The XP disk arrays come with HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console, a Java-based interface
that runs on the SVP and enables you to manage one disk array. For managing multiple arrays, the
optional HP StorageWorks XP Command View Advanced Edition software runs on a Windows-based
server and can be accessed using remote web-based clients. These software solutions enable
comprehensive disk array management.
