About HP StorageWorks XP Array Manager Software

HP StorageWorks XP Array Manager Software is a bundle of software products that provides

web-based volume management, resource allocation, access control, and data security for your XP

disk array. The bundle includes the following features:

• Volume Management — Configure and manage data volumes for the most effective use of your

XP disk array.

• Resource Allocation — Partition array resources to isolate applications, reserve cache memory for

your most frequently accessed data, and control host port usage so your most critical applications

have the port bandwidth they need.

• Access Control — Configure, manage, and secure all host access to the XP disk array so you have

efficient access to your data.

• Data Security — Enhance data integrity in Oracle environments, create read-only volumes for

archiving and data retention, and securely delete data when necessary.

When you purchase an XP disk array:

• For open systems environments, HP StorageWorks XP Array Manager Software is required to enable

basic configuration and security.

• For mainframe-only environments, HP StorageWorks XP Array Manager Software is optional.

However, HP XP Array Manager Software includes useful mainframe volume management and

security capabilities.
