1 Introduction

The HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services Platform (SVSP) Virtualization Service Manager
(VSM) Demo Mode is a simulation application of the HP Command View SVSP GUI interface that can
be used for product demonstrations. The Demo Mode program can run on laptops or desktops with
Windows XP or Windows Vista, or on servers running the Windows 2008 operating system. The
Demo Mode allows you to imitate most of the HP Command View SVSP GUI functions: storage pool
and virtual disk creation, assignment of virtual disks to a host, creating a PIT, creating a snapshot,
and more. The Demo Mode software comes with a default setup database that presents a typical user
with an HP storage environment, allowing a quick demonstration with zero setup time. You can also
make use of the SaSnap feature described in the HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services
Platform Administrator Guide
to capture your configuration and use it with the Demo Mode program
as practice or to simulate the production environment.

This document explains how to install the Demo Mode application and how to use it.
