Manager manages HP StorageWorks XP Business Copy Software or HP StorageWorks XP Continuous Access Software operations from a host server. To use XP RAID Manager, you must designate at least one LDEV as a command device. This can be done with XP Remote Web Console. Refer to the applicable user guide - HP XP24000 | HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array Configuration Guide for VMware XP2400 - Page 14
the disk array is installed, you must set the host mode for each disk array port to match the host OS. Set the host mode using LUN Manager in XP Remote Web Console (shown). If these are not available, the HP service representative can set the host mode using the SVP.

Connecting the disk array The HP service representative connects the disk array to the host by: 18 Installing and configuring VMware for the XP disk array - HP XP24000 | HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array Configuration Guide for VMware XP2400 - Page 19
Defining the paths Use XP Remote Web Console to define paths (LUNs) between hosts and volumes in the disk array. This process is also called "LUN mapping." In XP Remote Web Console LUN mapping includes: • Configuring ports • Enabling LUN security on the ports • Creating host groups • Assigning host - HP XP24000 | HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array Configuration Guide for VMware XP2400 - Page 20
