1 Overview of XP Remote Web Console Operations
1-1 XP12000/XP10000 Disk Array Web Server and Web Client
The XP12000/XP10000 Disk Array XP Remote Web Console consists of a group of Java™ applet programs that
enable the user to manage the XP12000/XP10000 Disk Array subsystem. The XP Remote Web Console Java™
applet programs run on a web browser to provide a user-friendly interface for the XP12000/XP10000 Disk
Array web client functions. The XP12000/XP10000 Disk Array service processor (SVP) is the computer inside the
subsystem that uses Java Virtual Machine™ (JVM™) to function as a web server. The SVP is also used by HP
representatives to perform maintenance. The XP Remote Web Console client functions as a web client. Each time
you log onto the XP Remote Web Console client and connect to the SVP, a Java™ applet program is
downloaded from the SVP to the client.
This document describes and provides instructions for using the licensed XP12000/XP10000 Disk Array XP
Remote Web Console software. The XP Remote Web Console software communicates directly with the
XP12000/XP10000 Disk Array subsystems via a local-area network (LAN) to obtain subsystem configuration and
status information, and send user-requested commands to the subsystem. The XP Remote Web Console software
displays the detailed subsystem information, and allows you to configure and perform operations on the
XP12000/XP10000 Disk Array subsystem.
The XP12000/XP10000 Disk Array subsystem can be connected to two LANs. The internal LAN is a private LAN
that is used to connect the SVPs of multiple subsystems. Your intranet is a public LAN that allows you to access
one or more SVPs from individual XP Remote Web Console client. This configuration allows you to easily access
and control the registered XP12000/XP10000 Disk Array subsystems. In a SAN environment, where several
subsystems may be connected together, you must designate a primary SVP, which can be either an SVP
connected to a XP12000/XP10000 Disk Array subsystem, or a web server with the exact same configuration as
an SVP (see section 2-4).
Figure 1-1 illustrates the relationship between the XP Remote Web Console client(s) and the SVP.
