HP XP P9500 Storage - Manual (Page 10)

1 Remote Web Console overview
HP Remote Web Console provides a unified GUI for managing and optimizing the XP P9500
storage system. You access the system in Remote Web Console from any computer with a Web
browser. Besides the GUI, Remote Web Console provides a CLI to allow scheduling of storage
system events.
Remote Web Console can be set up in either Windows or UNIX environments.
Manage the storage system
With Remote Web Console, you can perform the following tasks:
•
Provision storage.
•
Set up data replication for restoring lost data.
•
View and manage the configuration of the storage system.
•
Monitor and tune performance.
•
Acquire logs for actions and commands performed on the storage system.
GUI feature highlights
Remote Web Console allows you to set up and manage more than one storage system with a
use-case in mind. Whether creating LDEVs or pools, adding host groups or LUN paths, enabling
performance monitoring, or creating pairs for replication—these and all storage system tasks are
made simpler because the GUI seamlessly crosses the underlying XP P9500 software functionality.
The use of wizards for major use-case tasks makes it possible to complete the set of tasks in one
procedural flow, with a minimum of steps and a minimum of clicks.
The following illustration shows an example of the GUI main window.

Emphasis on performance
Operations you perform are executed in the background. This means you can start the next operation
without waiting for the previous one to complete.
Wizards and task management
Wizards are provided for each main task. The wizard guides you through all the subtasks that you
ordinarily perform one at a time. For example, the Create V-VOLs wizard guides you through a
series of screens in which you create the LDEVs for the V-VOLs and add LUN paths by selecting
LDEVs, selecting host groups, and mapping LUNs.
