2 Provided Manuals This chapter describes the XP7 program products and related user guides. HP XP7 Remote Web Console User Guide Remote Web Console provides a GUI to manage the XP7 storage systems via a web browser. The GUI enables you to view the settings and configuration information of a storage system from a management PC that is connected to the storage system via a LAN.
HP XP7 Provisioning for Open Systems User Guide and HP XP7 Provisioning for Mainframe Systems User Guide Thin Provisioning and Thin Provisioning Z Thin Provisioning and Thin Provisioning Z enables you to use to create virtual volumes to allocate capacity to a virtual host (server) in excess of the available physical disk capacity. The virtual volumes create a storage pool to store data.
HP XP7 External Storage for Open and Mainframe Systems User Guide The XP7 External Storage program product enables multiple storage systems to be virtually integrated. By mapping the logical volumes of other storage systems to an XP7 disk array, External Storage enables you to operate volumes of multiple storage systems as if you were operating a single storage system.
By using Compatible FlashCopy or Compatible FlashCopy SE, you can also specify the scope of the copy and establish a relationship. This scope is called an extent. When you specify only a part of a volume to be the scope of a copy (the extent), it does not matter if the capacities of the copy destination and the copy source are different. You can specify a copy source and a copy destination that are both in the same volume. You can also copy data from one source to multiple destinations.
Synchronous. By combining data-copy program products features, you can recover important data from all kinds of failures. For example, by using Continuous Access Journal and Continuous Access Synchronous, you can manage copied volumes in a 3-data-center configuration. If a failure occurs in one of the data centers during business hours, volumes in another data center can be used to continue the business. Volume replication can then be performed in the third data center.
SNMP Manager The SNMP Manager collects information from devices managed on the network (SNMP Agents), by using the SNMP network management protocol. The SNMP Manager is installed on the network management station. The SNMP Manager: displays the collected information graphically, accumulates the information in the database, analyzes problems that were discovered while accumulating the information, and obtains information about the status of storage system components.

Glossary allocation The ratio of allocated storage capacity versus total capacity as a percentage. Allocated storage refers to those logical devices (LDEVs) that have paths assigned to them. Allocated storage capacity is the sum of the storage of these LDEVs. Total capacity is the sum of the capacity of all LDEVs on the disk array. BC An HP application that provides volume-level, point-in-time copies in the disk array. BC Z The version of Business Copy that supports mainframe volumes.
M-VOL Main volume. MCU Main control unit. OPEN-x A general term describing any of the supported OPEN emulation modes (for example, OPEN-E). There are two types of OPEN-x devices: legacy OPEN-x devices with a fixed size (such as OPEN-3, OPEN-8, OPEN-9, and OPEN-E), and OPEN-V, which has a variable size and is a CVS-based volume. parity group A set of hard disk drives that have the same capacity and that are treated as one group.
