3 Preparing for Performance
Monitor Operations
System Requirements
To use Performance Monitor, you need:
• Storage system
• Performance Monitor software (Auto LUN is optional, but Performance Monitor is required)
• A Web client computer (intended for use as a Remote Web Console) connected to storage
system via LAN.
To use Performance Monitor, you use the Web client computer to log on to the SVP (web server). When
you are logged on, the Remote Web Console program, which is a Java application program, will be
downloaded to the web client computer. You can then perform Performance Monitor operations in the
Remote Web Console window.
For a summary of Web client computer requirements, see the user’s guide for the Remote Web Console.
Performance management operations require the Remote Web Console program, which is downloaded
to your WWW client computer. Your WWW client computer must be connected to the Storage system
via LAN. Browser settings are also required on your WWW client computer. For details, see HP
StorageWorks XP24000 Remote Web Console User’s Guide.
Caution : Performance management operations (Performance Monitor and Auto LUN) involve the
collection of large amounts of monitoring data. This requires considerable Web client computer memory.
It is therefore recommended that you exit the Remote Web Console program when not conducting
performance management operations, to release system memory.
