HP StorageWorks XP Performance Advisor Software v4.6 Install Guide (T1789-96096, July 2010)

CAUTION:
The volume designated as the command device is used only by the disk array and is blocked from
the user. Because the volume you select as a command device becomes unavailable to the host, HP
recommends that you use a volume that does not contain data or mounted files. The command device
can be any device that is accessible to the host.
