• HP 3PAR ODM Software for Veritas VxVM: an application for customers using Veritas VxVM/DMP with HP 3PAR storage devices. It provides HP 3PAR device definitions and a message catalog. • HP 3PAR NULL INF for SCSI Enclosure Device: HP 3PAR NULL driver for Windows Server 2003 is used to add WHQL signature for Windows Server 2003 environments so that the storage system can be recognized without triggering an "unknown device" message. • HP 3PAR Dynamic Optimization Software allows you to improve the performance of virtual volumes without interrupting access. Use this feature to avoid over provisioning for peak system usage by optimizing the layout of your virtual volumes. With HP 3PAR Dynamic Optimization you can change virtual volume parameters, RAID levels, set sizes, and disk filters by associating the virtual volume with a new CPG. You can also use this feature to analyze your entire system and automatically correct space usage imbalances in the system. Virtual volume and physical disk capacity are analyzed and rebalanced for optimal performance. This feature requires an HP 3PAR Dynamic Optimization license. To learn more about HP 3PAR Dynamic Optimization, see "Enhanced Storage Applications" (page 53). • HP 3PAR Adaptive Optimization Software gives you a much higher degree of control over disk usage by reserving your faster and more expensive storage resources for the data that is frequently accessed and relegating your slower and less expensive drives to storing data that is only occasionally accessed. To learn more about HP 3PAR Adaptive Optimization, see "Enhanced Storage Applications" (page 53). • HP 3PAR Peer Motion Software: allows you to load balance I/O workloads across HP 3PAR storage systems at will, perform technology refresh seamlessly, cost-optimize asset lifecycle management, and lower technology refresh capital expenditure. • HP 3PAR Priority Optimization Software: allows you to set service level targets/guarantees to application workload so that applications are guaranteed the I/O quality of service and any interference between the application can be controlled. • HP 3PAR Virtual Copy Software: allows you to take instant virtual copy snapshots of existing volumes. It uses copy-on-write technology so that virtual copies consume minimal capacity. Virtual copies are presentable to any host with read and write capabilities. In addition, virtual copies can be made from other virtual copies, providing flexibility for test, backup, and business-intelligence applications. To learn more about virtual copies, see "Virtual Copy Snapshots" (page 46). • HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software: a host-independent, array-based data mirroring solution that enables affordable data distribution and disaster recovery for applications. With this optional utility, you can copy virtual volumes from one system to a second system. HP 3PAR Remote Copy is configured and controlled with the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface. For more information about the HP 3PAR Remote Copy application, see the HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software User's Guide. • HP 3PAR Peer Persistence Software: enables federation of HP 3PAR storage systems present at geographically separated data centers and allows applications to move and fail over from one site to another without any application downtime. • HP 3PAR GeoCluster Software: simplifies and automates disaster recovery, reducing administration time and improving recovery time objectives (RTOs) in Windows-based environments. • HP 3PAR Virtual Domains Software: is used for access control. Virtual Domains allow you to limit the access of users to only subsets of volumes and hosts in an HP Storage System and ensures that virtual volumes associated with a specific domain are not exported to hosts outside of that domain. To learn more about domains, see "HP 3PAR Virtual Domains" (page 24). • HP 3PAR Virtual Lock Software: enforces the retention period of any volume or copy of a volume. To learn more about Virtual Lock, see "Enhanced Storage Applications" (page 53). 12 Overview
