1 Overview of XP Remote Web Console Operations
1-1 XP1024/XP128 Disk Array Web Server and Web Client
The XP1024/XP128 Disk Array XP Remote Web Console consists of a group of Java™ applet programs that
enable the user to manage the XP1024/XP128 Disk Array subsystem. The XP Remote Web Console Java™
applet programs run on a web browser to provide a user-friendly interface for the XP1024/XP128 Disk Array
web client functions. The XP1024/XP128 Disk Array service processor (SVP) is the computer inside the subsystem
that uses Java Virtual Machine™ (JVM™) to function as a web server. The SVP is also used by HP representatives
to perform maintenance. The XP Remote Web Console client functions as a web client. Each time you log on to
the XP Remote Web Console client and connect to the SVP, a Java™ applet program is downloaded from the
SVP to the XP Remote Web Console client.
This document describes and provides instructions for using the licensed XP1024/XP128 Disk Array XP Remote
Web Console software. The XP Remote Web Console software communicates directly with the XP1024/XP128
Disk Array subsystems via a local-area network (LAN) to obtain subsystem configuration and status information,
and send user-requested commands to the subsystem. The XP Remote Web Console software displays the
detailed subsystem information and allows you to configure and perform operations on the XP1024/XP128 Disk
Array subsystem.
The XP1024/XP128 Disk Array subsystem can be connected to two LANs. The internal LAN is a private LAN that
is used to connect the SVPs of multiple subsystems. Your intranet is a public LAN that allows you to access one or
more SVPs from individual XP Remote Web Console clients. This configuration allows you to easily access and
control the registered XP1024/XP128 Disk Array subsystems. In a SAN environment, where several subsystems
may be connected together, you must designate a primary SVP, which can be either an SVP connected to an
XP1024/XP128 Disk Array subsystem or to a web server with the exact same configuration as an SVP (see
section 2-4).
Figure 1-1 illustrates the relationship between the XP Remote Web Console client(s) and the SVP.
