Discovering HP XP Arrays by Using Command View XP and SMI-S
Before you can discover XP arrays, you must download and install the XP SMI-S Provider software.
For instructions, see the HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array and Command View XP document for
your version of Command View XP. You can access this document at:
http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim/providers
. Check this web site periodically to verify that you are
running a current version of the SMI-S provider. See the support matrix for your edition for details.
IMPORTANT: The Command View XP SMI-S provider does not return information related to
external storage available to the HP XP storage arrays, including the external LDEVs. As a result,
that information is not available in the management server user interface or reports.

• User name for accessing the XP SMI-S provider
• Password for accessing the XP SMI-S provider
