Overview
HP Remote Web Console provides a unified GUI for managing and optimizing the P9500 storage
system. You access the system in Remote Web Console from any PC with a web browser. Besides
the GUI, Remote Web Console provides a CLI to allow scheduling of storage system events.
Remote Web Console can be set up in either Microsoft Windows or UNIX environments. This
section describes essential features.
Manage the storage system
With Remote Web Console, you can perform the following functions:
•
Provision the storage system.
•
Set up data replication for restoring lost data.
•
View and manage the configuration of the storage system.
•
Monitor and tune performance.
•
Acquire logs for actions and commands performed on the storage system.
GUI feature highlights
Remote Web Console allows you to set up and manage more than one storage system with a
use-case in mind. Whether creating LDEVs or pools, adding host groups or LUN paths, enabling
performance monitoring, or creating pairs for replication—these and all storage system tasks are
made simpler because the GUI seamlessly crosses the underlying P9500 program product
functionality. The use of wizards for major use-case tasks makes it possible to complete the set of
tasks in one procedural flow, with a minimum of steps and a minimum of clicks.
