1 Overview of XP Remote Web Console Operations 1-1 XP1024/XP128 Disk Array Web Server and Web Client The XP1024/XP128 Disk Array XP Remote Web Console consists of a group of Java™ applet programs that enable the user to manage the XP1024/XP128 Disk Array subsystem. The XP Remote Web Console Java™ applet programs run on a web browser to provide a user-friendly interface for the XP1024/XP128 Disk Array web client functions.
The XP Remote Web Console Java™ applet program displays the configuration information for the attached XP1024/XP128 Disk Array subsystems and enables you to perform the following types of operations: • Enabling and disabling options (see section 2-7) • Viewing the detailed information of the subsystem (see section 3-1-2) • Launching the desired option (see section 3-1-3) • Downloading the audit log files and viewing XP Remote Web Console log information (administrator only; see section 3-2) • Editi
1-3 User Access Control The XP Remote Web Console Java™ applet program provides three basic levels of user access: • Administrator access • Restricted (write) access • Ordinary user (view) access Administrators have write access to all XP Remote Web Console functions.
1-4 Important Terms and Concepts The XP Remote Web Console user should be familiar with the following terms and concepts: • Disk controller frame. The XP1024/XP128 Disk Array subsystem has one disk controller frame that controls all data access and storage operations. The XP1024/XP128 Disk Array provides up to 64 logical control unit (CU) images and supports 3990-6, 3990-6E, and 2105-F20 controller emulation types. Note: The 3990-3 and 2105-E20 controller emulation types are not supported.
2 Installation Requirements and Procedures 2-1 System Requirements The XP Remote Web Console Java™ applet program is downloaded from the SVP to the XP Remote Web Console client. The applet runs on the web browser of the XP Remote Web Console and communicates with the attached XP1024/XP128 Disk Array subsystems via the TCP/IP network.
Note 1: If the RAM on the XP Remote Web Console client is 128 MB or less, the maximum number of concurrent users for XP Remote Web Console is one. If multiple instances of XP Remote Web Console are to be started on the XP Remote Web Console client, more than 256 MB of memory is recommended for the XP Remote Web Console client. Note 2: If JRE™ is not already installed on the XP Remote Web Console client, it will be downloaded when you log on to the server.
2-2 Setting up the XP Remote Web Console 2-2-1 Configuring Your Web Browser Your HP account support representative will install the SVP software and LAN cabling. Be sure to document the serial numbers and IP addresses or host names of each XP1024/XP128 Disk Array subsystem; these numbers are required for XP Remote Web Console operations. NOTE: It is important to verify that you have a unique IP address or host name for each SVP to avoid any conflicts.
• When an internal process is being executed on the SVP (for example, a configuration change, option check, or an operational information acquisition), XP Remote Web Console processing might be temporarily delayed. • If you reset the time of the clock on the XP Remote Web Console, clear the existing temporary Internet files of your web browser before logging on to the XP Remote Web Console.
• In general, you can select an object in a pane by left-clicking the mouse. Certain commands can be displayed by right-clicking an object. In some cases you can use the right mouse button to drag and drop an item. This is noted in the instructions for each operation. You can sort objects listed in a table by selecting the header of a column you want to sort. • You cannot use the mouse wheel feature.
export LANG C Shell: setenv LANG C • After installing the JRE™ file on UNIX® workstations, enter the following commands using the shell: • B Shell: PATH=$PATH:[JRE installation directory path]/jre/bin export PATH • C Shell: setenv PATH ${PATH}:[JRE installation directory path]/jre/bin • Volume Migration and Performance Control XP panes: • You cannot drag and drop objects on the Volume Migration and Performance Control XP panes. You must use the buttons instead.
• When you use XP Remote Web Console on Solaris™ workstations: You cannot drag and drop objects on the LUN Manager pane. You must use the buttons instead. • When you use XP Remote Web Console on HP-UX® workstations: If you select any part of the XP Remote Web Console main pane while a dialog box is displayed, that dialog box may be wholly or partially obscured behind the XP Remote Web Console main pane. Before you can use the XP Remote Web Console main pane, close the obscured dialog box first.
2-4 Starting Up and Logging on to the XP Remote Web Console™ IMPORTANT: Because the initial user ID has administrator-level access, one of the first tasks for the XP Remote Web Console administrator should be to change the password to protect the administrator-only and restricted functions. If you are logging on to XP Remote Web Console for the first time, use the initial user ID (administrator) and password (administrator) to log on as an administrator. All user IDs and passwords are case-sensitive.
5. The Logon pane displays (see Figure 2-8). If you are using a Windows Server® 2003 computer, the Website Content Blocked message (see Figure 2-9) may appear. If this message appears, take the following steps: a. Click Add in the message pane. The Trusted Sites pane appears (see Figure 2-10). b. In Add this Web site to the zone, enter the URL of the SVP that you want to log on to. c. Click Add. The URL of the SVP is added to the list of trusted sites. d. Click Close. The Trusted Sites pane closes. 6.

2-5 View Mode and Modify Mode 2-5-1 Changing Between View Mode and Modify Mode NOTE: You must have administrator or write access for the option that you want to use in Modify Mode. To change between View mode and Modify mode: 1. Verify that the subsystem is unlocked. If all users are operating in View mode, the Unlocked icon ( ) and the View mode icon ( ) are displayed on the upper right of the XP Remote Web Console panes (see Figure 2-12).
2-5-2 Extending the Modify Mode Timeout Period When you are in Modify mode, the time remaining before the mode is reset to View mode is displayed both as a progress bar and numerically (see Figure 2-15). The default for the Modify mode timeout period is 30 minutes. Once that time period expires, Modify mode is released. By clicking Reset (this button is on the right side of the progress bar; see Figure 2-15), you can add additional time.
• A temporary License Key is for trial use. 75 days after the temporary license key is installed (or when there are 45 days left before the expiration), a warning message is displayed on the XP Remote Web Console main pane when you start the XP Remote Web Console. After 120 days, the temporary license key expires. A message that warns the user of the expiration of the license key is displayed, and the license key expiration is also reported to the host (see Figure 2-17).

The following parameters apply: • You can delete the settings for host group 0 (zero), but the host group itself cannot be deleted. If you delete all the settings for host group 0, the settings revert to the default settings. • When you delete a host group, the WWN and path definition of that host group are automatically deleted.
