3 Preparing for XP Performance Control
Operations
System Requirements
To use XP Performance Control, you need:
• A storage system
• Performance Monitor software (XP Auto LUN and XP Performance Control are optional, but Per-
formance Monitor is required)
• A web client computer (intended for use as a Remote Web Console) connected to storage system
via LAN.
To use XP Performance Control, you use the web client computer to log on to the SVP (web server).
When you are logged on, the Remote Web Console program, which is a Java application program,
is downloaded to the web client computer. You can then perform performance management operations
in the Remote Web Console window.
For a summary of web client computer requirements, see the user’s guide for Remote Web Console.
XP Performance Control operations require the Remote Web Console program, which is downloaded
to your WWW client computer. Your WWW client computer must be connected to the storage system
via LAN. Browser settings are also required on your WWW client computer. For details, see the HP
StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web Console User Guide.
CAUTION:
Performance management operations (Performance Monitor and XP Auto LUN) involve the collection
of large amounts of monitoring data. This requires considerable web client computer memory. It is
therefore recommended that you exit the Remote Web Console program when not conducting
performance management operations, to release system memory.
For details on how to install XP Performance Control and XP Auto LUN, see the HP StorageWorks
XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web Console User Guide.
