Enterprise Storage System (ESS) Disks
Fibre Channel disk drives are field-replaceable units (FRUs). Any physical action on a
FRU, including installation and replacement, must be performed only by a qualified HP
service provider.
Enterprise Storage System (ESS) Disks
The Enterprise Storage System (ESS) is any of several models of HP StorageWorks
Disk Arrays. These arrays are a collection of magnetic disks, their controllers, and the
disk cache in one or more standalone cabinets. The disks are configured with an
attached console. You can connect the ESS to a NonStop S-series system through an
IOAM
ESS disk drives are maintained and serviced only by qualified service providers who
have completed courses in ESS management.
Monitoring Disk Drives
Several tools are available to monitor the current status, space usage, configuration,
and performance of disk drives.
