HP XP Provisioning Manager Software -
Overview & Features

Overview

HP XP Provisioning Manager enables you to integrate and manage your HP XP Disk Array storage as a logical storage pool. By presenting the volumes associated with each resource group as a single logical volume, HP XP Provisioning Manager lets you manage these volumes regardless of where they actually reside. This reduces the workload required to monitor and maintain the various volumes.

HP XP Provisioning Manager also provides transaction logs that help you quickly resolve file system and device management problems.

What's new

• HP XP Provisioning Manager Software is now available for the HP XP20000 Disk Array.

Features and Benefits

• Quickly allocates XP storage: Saves user time and money.
• Hides complexity of managing heterogeneous hosts: Provides a common user interface for managing file systems and device files across different hosts, saving resources and money.
• Offers separation of administrative tasks: This allows the server administrator to provision by themselves as the sub storage pool will separate the allocation by storage administrator and provisioning by the server administrator.
• Faster problem resolution: The transaction logs enable you to correct errors and resume any operation from the point just prior to the failure, without having to redo the earlier process steps.
