Getting Started Guide

Configuring HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP
Prerequisites
• Ensure that you have installed all necessary Disk Array XP licenses and
components.
• Ensure that the same operating system (and its version) is installed on the
application and backup systems.
• Connect the application and backup systems to the same Disk Array XP.
Primary LDEVs must be connected to the application system and have paired
disks assigned and presented to the backup system.

configured:

systems.
• Create pair relationships between both sets of LDEVs.
Configure the Disk Array XP integration as follows:
1. Install the Application Recovery Manager instant recovery license on the
Cell Manager.
2. Instal HP StorageWorks XP Agent on the application and backup systems.
