HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console and Command View

XP Advanced Edition (AE)

HP Remote Web Console (RWC) which comes installed on the SVP, is the standard

software package for managing the XP disk array. RWC allows you to install and

multiple HP XP disk arrays, you will need the o ptional HP Command View XP Advanced

Edition software.

browser-based common management platform from which you can manage the HP XP

family of disk arrays. CV XP AE installs on a management workstation that you provide

and from there can manage multiple XP arrays—even globally distributed arrays.

• Web-browser b ased GUI interface

• Visual rep resentation and management of host and storage resources

• Common user interface for launching XP management applications

• Security through authentication, authoriz ation, and encryption
