Hardware and Software Support
34 HSG80 Enterprise Modular Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel Solution Software V8.8 for Sun
Solaris Release Notes
StorageWorks Command Console (SWCC)
SWCC V2.5 is included in this release and is used to identify the SWCC suite of
components.
SWCC provides a graphical user interface that can be used to configure and
monitor your storage system. Use of SWCC is highly recommended, but not
required. The SWCC Agent is installed as part of the Solution Software Kit.
For more information on SWCC installation, see the HP StorageWorks HSG80
ACS Solution Software Installation and Configuration Guide. For more
information on SWCC Client operation, see the Command Console Version 2.5
User Guide and the Command Console Version 2.5 Release Notes.
SWCC Scalability
■ The SWCC Client can monitor up to 128 host systems, each with up to 32
storage systems, for a maximum of 4096 concurrent storage connections and a
total of 2.65 PB of storage.
■ One Agent can support up to 32 Clients.
Multiple Agents
This Solution Software Kit contains an SWCC Agent that supports controller
locking during CLI command execution, which allows support for multiple
Agents. This locking feature is required in order to use the Management
Appliance in addition to the host-based SWCC Agent. However, it is not
recommended or required to use multiple Agents for any other purpose.
Note: SWCC Agent V2.3.2, Build 79 or later supports the locking feature. This release
of Solution Software exceeds this requirement.
Multiple Management Sessions
Though multiple Clients can be used to monitor the storage system, HP
recommends that only one instance of storage system management be active at a
time. The Client allows for multiple management sessions, but there are no
ownership rights given to any particular session. Without a highly coordinated
effort, multiple management sessions can undermine the integrity of system
maintenance. This same principle applies to multiple management sessions
initiated through the Management Appliance as well.
