Overview
HP 3PAR storage systems are available in a variety of hardware configurations. Different models
address different levels of storage capacity and anticipated growth requirements. All models use
the HP 3PAR OS.
Hardware monitoring and configuration tasks can be performed with both the HP 3PAR CLI and
the HP 3PAR Management Console. See the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface Administrator’s
Manual and the HP 3PAR Management Console Online Help for instructions on performing
hardware management tasks. For detailed information about ports, network adapters, cabling,
and cable configurations, see the physical planning manual for your storage system model.
WARNING! With the exception of customer self repair (CSR) parts, the servicing of HP hardware
is to be performed by authorized technicians, including HP field engineers, value added resellers
(VARs), certified self-maintaining customers, and, in some cases, authorized third-party field
technicians, who are authorized by HP to install HP 3PAR storage systems and their hardware
components.
