HP StorageWorks XP Replication Monitor software 5.9 release notes (T1784-96026, January 2008)

If the Device Manager server is installed on the same pair management server as the XP

Replication Monitor server, setting the user ID and password for accessing the Device Manager

server is no longer necessary.

 XP Replication Monitor software now supports IPv6 IP addresses.

NOTE: To use IPv6 features and manage an XP disk array, the XP Command View Advanced

disk array firmware is expected in the first half of 2008.

 The server now can run VMware ESX Server on the following OS:
