HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition Device Manager Server Installation and Configuration Guide (December 2005)

Introduction to Command View XP AE Device Manager 14
• Web Client. The Device Manager Web Client is a web-based user interface for monitoring and
managing HP StorageWorks XP Series disk arrays. It communicates with and runs as a client of
the Device Manager server. For further information on Device Manager Web Client, please refer
to the HP StorageWorks Command View XP AE Device Manager Web Client User Guide.
• Command Line Interface (CLI). Device Manager CLI enables you to perform client operations by
issuing commands from the system command-line prompt. For further information on the
command-line interface, please see the HP StorageWorks Command View XP AE Device
Manager CLI User Guide.
• Host Agent. The Device Manager agent runs on a host computer attached to HP StorageWorks
XP Series disk arrays under management by the Device Manager. The host agent collects data
on the configuration and utilization of the attached storage and sends this information to the
Device Manager server. For further information on the Device Manager host agent, please refer
to the HP StorageWorks Command View XP AE Device Manager Agent Installation and
Configuration Guide. The Device Manager agent and the Device Manager server can be
installed on the same host machine.
