Clarifying HP P6000 array-based management support
HP P6000 Command View array-based management:
• Manages only one array.
• Cannot manage HP P6000 Continuous Access relationships (HP P6000 Command View can only
see one side of the DR group). High availability solutions that rely on HP P6000 Continuous
Access, like HP Cluster Extension Software (CLX) and HP Metrocluster, cannot be managed using
HP P6000 Command View array-based management.
• Supports Insight Remote Support Standard, starting with HP Command View EVA 9.1, and supports
both Insight Remote Support Standard and Insight Remote Support Advanced, starting with HP
P6000 Command View 9.4.
NOTE: HP P6000 Command View is only supported with HP Insight Remote Support Advanced
and Standard 5.7.
• Does not support HP SMI-S EVA and HP P6000 Performance Data Collector natively. However,
both HP SMI-S EVA and HP P6000 Performance Data Collector support EVAs that are managed
by HP P6000 Command View array-based management. To do so, install the software on a
Windows server from the HP P6000 Command View installer. With the HP SMI-S EVA provider,
be sure to give the IP address and credentials of the array running HP P6000 Command View to
the provider. See the HP P6000 Command View Installation Guide for instructions.
• Supports hard disk drive firmware upgrades when running HP P6000 Command View 9.4 and
XCS 10000000 or XCS 10001000.
Installation and upgrade requirements
For supported HP P6000 Command View upgrade paths, see Table 2.1, “HP P6000 Command View
upgrade support,” in the HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference. For complete
information on requirements and installation and upgrade procedures, see the HP P6000 Command
View Installation Guide.
Browser support
Internet Explorer 8.0 or later or FireFox 4.0 or later are the supported browsers for accessing HP
P6000 software user interfaces. Only 32-bit browsers are supported. If the browser version you are
using is earlier, you must upgrade your browser. When using HP Command View, HP Performance
Advisor, or HP Management Integration Framework, a minimum of Adobe Flash Player 10 is required
on the browser you are using.
To download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player:
1. Go to http://adobe.com and click Downloads.
2. Under Readers and Players, click Get Adobe Flash Player.
3. Click Download Now to install the Adobe Flash Player.
Installing HP P6000 Command View 10.0 with HP Command View for Tape Libraries
IMPORTANT:
• HP P6000 Command View must be upgraded to version 10.0 before installing or upgrading HP
Replication Solutions Manager to version 5.4 or HP Command View for Tape Libraries to version
2.6, if all three products are installed on the same server.
• If HP Command View for Tape Libraries is installed, you must remove it before installing HP P6000
Command View 10.0.
• HP recommends that you install HP Command View for Tape Libraries 2.6 before installing HP
P6000 Replication Solutions Manager to avoid Postgre SQL error messages.
