This guide explains how to use HP StorageWorks XP Performance Control software to ensure that I/O operations for
high-performance hosts are processed with high priority by HP StorageWorks XP12000/XP10000 disk arrays and the HP
200 Storage Virtualization System. Topics include how to set priorities by port or by WWN, how to monitor and limit
traffic, how to apply thresholds, and how to use the Export Tool to export performance data to text files. The intended
audience is a storage administrator or HP-authorized service provider with independent knowledge of XP storage systems
and Remote Web Console.
