1 Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the RAID Manager software and RAID Manager operations
on the HP RAID storage systems.
About RAID Manager
The RAID Manager software enables you to perform storage system configuration and data
management operations by issuing commands to the RAID storage systems. RAID Manager
operations can be used on the following storage systems:
•
P9500 Disk Array
•
XP24000/XP20000 Disk Array
•
XP12000 Disk Array
•
XP10000 Disk Array
•
XP1024/XP128 Disk Array
•
XP256 Disk Array
•
XP512 Disk Array
RAID Manager continues to provide the proven functionality including in-systemreplication, remote
replication, and data protection operations.
In addition, RAID Manager for P9500 now provides command-line access to the same provisioning
and storage management operations that are available in the Remote Web Console graphical
user interface. RAID Manager commands can be used interactively or in scripts to automate and
standardize storage administration functions, thereby simplifying the job of the storage administrator
and reducing administration costs. This new version of RAID Manager also provides improved
ease of use while at the same time reducing risk of error.
CAUTION: Some storage systems may reject commands from RAID Manager. Verify the program
products for each storage system and those functions statuses when commands are rejected.
