Unless otherwise specified, the term storage system in this guide refers to the following disk arrays:
• HP StorageWorks XP24000 Disk Array
• HP StorageWorks XP20000 Disk Array
The GUI illustrations in this guide were created using a Windows computer with the Internet Explorer
browser. Actual windows may differ depending on the operating system and browser used. GUI
contents also vary with licensed program products, storage system models, and firmware versions.
Overview of Remote Web Console
Remote Web Console enables you to remotely manage the storage system. This section describes
how Remote Web Console accesses the storage system.
The storage system has a computer called an SVP that is used for maintenance. Remote Web
Console accesses the SVP to obtain storage system configuration and status information and to
send user-requested commands to the storage system. Remote Web Console consists of a group
of applications that run on the JVM. The SVP uses JVM to function as a web server and Remote
Web Console to function as a Java client. The Java client that runs Remote Web Console is called
a Remote Web Console computer.
Remote Web Console communicates with SVPs on the storage systems via a LAN. The supported
interfaces between Remote Web Console and the SVP are GUI and CFL Extension.
Remote Web Console GUI
The Remote Web Console GUI allows you to perform operations on the storage system using the
Remote Web Console windows that are displayed in a web browser.
The storage system can be connected to two LANs. The storage system internal LAN is a private
LAN that is used to connect the SVPs of multiple storage systems. Your intranet is a public LAN
that allows you to access one or more SVPs from individual Remote Web Console computers. This
configuration allows you to easily access and control the registered storage system.
Figure 1 (page 8) shows an example of Remote Web Console computer and SVP configuration.
Overview of Remote Web Console 7
Page 8
Figure 1 Example of Remote Web Console Computer and SVP Configuration
CFL Extension
The CFL Extension allows you to perform commands on the storage system using the command
prompt. To use the CFL Extension, you need to install certain files on the Remote Web Console
computer.
The current version of the CFL Extension can be used to perform only specific operations of specific
program products. For details on the CFL Extension, see “Using the CFL Extension” (page 119).
Remote Web Console Features
Remote Web Console enables you to perform the following operations:
• View the storage system information
You can view storage system and LDEV information in the Identity window (see “Identity
Window” (page 61)).
◦
◦ You can view the mounted status of ports in the Port Status window (see “Port Status
Window” (page 66)).
◦ You can view specific LUN, LDEV, and port values in the Reports Display dialog box,
which is different from the Remote Web Console main window (see “Reports Display
Dialog Boxes” (page 81)).
• Use program product options and functions
You can use program product options remotely on the storage system.
See the appropriate user's guide for details about storage system options. For installation
instructions, see “Enabling and Disabling Remote Web Console Options” (page 97). For
launch instructions, see “Launching the Desired Option” (page 100).
◦
◦ You can save the settings of some program product options to a spreadsheet file, or you
can specify multiple settings all together in a spreadsheet file (see “Overview of
Configuration File Loader Operations” (page 13)).
8 About Remote Web Console Operations
Page 9
◦ You can specify SNMP agent properties remotely to the SVP (see the HP StorageWorks
XP24000/XP20000 SNMP Agent Reference Guide).
◦ You can virtually partition built-in cache memory or storage (see the HP StorageWorks
XP24000/XP20000 Disk/Cache Partition User Guide).
• Consider security
You can register user accounts for Remote Web Console and specify the operation
privileges for each account (see “User Access Levels” (page 9)).
◦
◦ You can check the current number of user accounts and set the timeout period with the
Remote Web Console environment parameters (see “Set Env. Dialog Box” (page 92)).
◦ You can display a warning message to unauthorized access on the Remote Web Console
login window (see “Login Message Window” (page 71)).
◦ You can view the audit logs that list the user's login history (see “Overview of Audit Logs”
(page 12)).
◦ You can encrypt communication between the Remote Web Console and the SVP (see
“Overview of SSL-Encrypted Communications” (page 14)).
• Gather necessary information for troubleshooting
You can view the error history of the storage system (see “Alerts Window” (page 67)).◦
◦ You can automate email notification of storage system failures (see “E-mail Information
Window” (page 77)).
◦ You can download trace files (see “Downloading Trace Files Using the FD Dump Tool”
(page 110)).
◦ You can back up and restore the setting information for Remote Web Console (see
“Download Dialog Box” (page 94) and “Restore Dialog Box” (page 95)).
User Access Levels
To use Remote Web Console, you first need to set up a user account. Remote Web Console user
account contains the following information:
• User ID
• User type
• Password
• Operation privileges
For Remote Web Console, a user account with a user ID of administrator is initially set. By default,
operation privileges for all functions of Remote Web Console and program product options are
given to the administrator user account. You cannot delete the administrator user account. You
may register up to 500 user accounts, including the administrator account, for Remote Web
Console.
You have to set user ID, user type, and password when you set up a user account. Operation
privileges can be set for each registered user account. To register the user account or to set operation
privileges, use the Account window. For further information on the procedures for registering a
user account and setting operation privileges for Remote Web Console, see “Account Window”
(page 70).
The following sections describe user types and operation privileges.
User Types
Remote Web Console provides two types of user access levels: storage administrator and storage
partition administrator. You decide the user type when you register a user account.
User Access Levels 9
Page 10
The range of operating privileges varies by user type:
• Storage administrator
A storage administrator can operate the entire storage system. The administrator user account,
which is the default Remote Web Console user account, is a kind of storage administrator.
Only the storage administrator can perform the following:
◦ Use the Control Panel
◦ Perform audit log and syslog-related operations
◦ Execute the CFL Extension commands
◦ Use the FD dump tool
• Storage partition administrator
A storage partition administrator can operate an SLPR allocated by Remote Web Console. A
storage partition administrator can manipulate user accounts and perform operations using
some (not all) program products. For further information on SLPR or details on the program
products that a storage partition administrator can use, see “Go Menu” (page 53).
Operation Privileges
As you set the user ID and password when you register a user, you can also set various types of
operation privileges for the registered user account. In Remote Web Console, the operation privilege
might be called a role.
The following roles can be assigned to user accounts:
• Account Administrator role. This role has user account operation privileges. Specify Modify,
View, or Disable for each user account. The Modify privilege is set for the administrator user
account, and this privilege cannot be changed.
Table 1 (page 10) shows the operations available to the Account Administrator role.

A storage administrator with the Enable privilege can do the following:
◦ Perform data encryption operations using the VLL window. See the HP StorageWorks
XP24000/XP20000 Virtual LVI/LUN (VLL) and Volume Shredder User Guide.
◦ Back up and restore the encryption key using the Encryption window. See the HP
StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Disk Encryption User Guide.
• Storage Administrator role. This role has storage operation privileges. Specify either Enable
or Disable for each user account. The Enable privilege is set for the administrator user account.
The administrator user account has Modify privileges for the operations of all program products.
A storage administrator with the Enable privilege can do the following; however, a storage
partition administrator with the Enable privilege can perform only operations using some (not
all) program products:
◦ Perform operations using the Set Env. dialog box.
◦ Download and restore the environment parameter list.
◦ Perform operations using program products. Select either the Modify or View privilege
for each program product. Modify is required to perform operations using the program
product. For details on program products, see “Go Menu” (page 53).
Overview of Audit Logs
The Audit Log function allows you to record the access and configuration changes made to your
storage system. The audit log can be used to investigate when an incorrect setup is performed or
when a problem occurs in the storage system.
You can view the audit log by one of the following methods:
• Transferring the audit log to FTP servers
• Transferring the audit log to syslog servers
• Downloading the audit log to the Remote Web Console computer
You can download two files with different formats to the Remote Web Console computer. The file
that has the same format as the audit log transferred to syslog servers is called the syslog file. The
file that has the same format as the audit log transferred to FTP servers is called the audit log file.
Figure 2 (page 13) shows an overview of the audit log transfer operations.
12 About Remote Web Console Operations
Page 13
Figure 2 Overview of the Audit Log Transfer
You can transfer audit logs to FTP servers or syslog servers after connecting these servers through
the LAN to the SVP of the storage system. A maximum of two FTP servers and two syslog servers
can be connected to the SVP. The first one is named primary FTP server or primary syslog server.
The second one is named secondary FTP server or secondary syslog server.
The audit log is stored in the SVP. Older data in the file is deleted from the audit log file when the
number of lines of saved data reaches the maximum quantity.
• If you configure the FTP server settings, the audit log will be automatically transferred to the
FTP server when the number of lines in the file reaches the threshold.
• If you configure syslog server settings, the audit log will be always transferred to the syslog
server.
You can temporarily store the audit log on a system disk in a storage system before storing the log
in the SVP so that the unsaved audit log will not be lost. The audit log stored in the system disk will
be eventually stored in the SVP. If you need to keep track of commands sent from the host, HP
recommends that you temporarily store the audit log on a system disk before storing the logs in
the SVP.
To transfer the audit log to servers, configure server settings using the Syslog window or the Audit
Log Transfer window. To store the audit log on a system disk, configure the setting using the Audit
Log Setting window. See the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Audit Log User and Reference
Guide to configure server settings in each window.
Overview of Configuration File Loader Operations
Configuration File Loader is used to make large-scale or batch changes to the configuration of
certain program product options, using either a text editor or spreadsheet software to edit
configuration definition files (spreadsheet files) and apply the changes to the storage system. You
can apply the same spreadsheet file to different storage systems, and you can define the
configuration in the spreadsheet when you are offline.
The process of applying a spreadsheet to the storage system differs depending on the program
products. Table 3 (page 14) shows program products supporting a spreadsheet and how to apply
a spreadsheet.

For further information on these program product options, see the corresponding documents for
each program product.
Overview of SSL-Encrypted Communications
In order to improve security of remote operations from a Remote Web Console to a storage system,
you can set up SSL-encrypted communication. With SSL-encrypted communication, the user ID and
password required for logging in to the Remote Web Console are encrypted, and you can
communicate with a higher level of security.
For detailed information on the SSL-encrypted communication, contact your HP service representative.
You need to change the SVP (web server) to Apache, which supports SSL, in order to perform
SSL-encrypted communication. Your HP service representative will change the SVP to the
SSL-supported Apache.
Encryption Function Enhancement (Solution to the Year 2010 Encryption
Problem)
Remote Web Console and other SSL encrypted communication includes encryption processing
functionality.
The encryption functions are prepared for the year 2010 problem of encryption. This setting is
called Advanced Security Mode. If this setting is performed, the cryptographic algorithm changes
in some of the functions, but the Remote Web Console functions and operation methods are not
changed.
If you want to set the Advanced Security Mode, contact HP. See “HP Technical Support” (page 140).
If you set the Advanced Security Mode and use Remote Web Console, please note the following:
• When you enable the Advanced Security Mode, it might not be possible to connect to the SVP
from the P9000 or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software or some browsers for the
version that is not prepared for the year 2010 encryption problem.
• Confirm that all the devices that will be connected to the SVP are for the versions prepared
for the year 2010 encryption problem before enabling the Advanced Security Mode.
• If you enable the Advanced Security Mode, the user account is initialized where only root is
registered. It is necessary to recreate a user account.
• In the status where the Advanced Security Mode is enabled, the user list that was backed up
when the option was OFF, or in the previous version, (older than 60-07-50-00-/00) cannot
be used.
• If the account information update is performed while the Advanced Security Mode is enabled
and the version of the microprogram is downgraded to the previous version (older than
60-07-50-00-/00), the account information where the microcode is upgraded to the version
60-07-50-00-/00 or later again does not reflect the updated information of the previous
14 About Remote Web Console Operations
Page 15
version. If the Advanced Security Mode is enabled, do not perform the account update
operation on the version that was downgraded to the previous version.
• If the Advanced Security Mode is enabled, HP recommends using a certificate for the
SSL-encrypted communication with the hash function larger than SHA-2 (SHA-256 or larger).
The Year 2010 Encryption Problem
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) compiles the types of encryption that
U.S. government agencies should use. The NIST recommends transitioning to encryption types with
larger key size and advanced security after 2010. Although responding to this issue is not
mandatory, it is recommended. A large number of devices and systems utilizing encryption will
be affected by this new encryption standard.
Single Sign-on from HP Systems Insight Manager
Remote Web Console supports single sign-on from HP Systems Insight Manager. A user who logs
in to HP Systems Insight Manager can operate the Remote Web Console main window by clicking
Remote Web Console in the Tool menu of HP Systems Insight Manager. The user is not required to
enter a user ID and password into Remote Web Console, because the user is already logged in
to HP Systems Insight Manager. To implement single sign-on using HP Systems Insight Manager,
you need to import a Remote Web Console tool definition file into HP Systems Insight Manager,
and register certificates for HP Systems Insight Manager to the SVP. For details on how to import
a tool definition file, see “Importing a Tool Definition File into HP Systems Insight Manager”
(page 115). For details on how to register certificates, see “Registering the Certificates of HP Systems
Insight Manager” (page 116).
All users who are allowed to log in to HP Systems Insight Manager can also log in to Remote Web
Console. The operation privilege (role) for Remote Web Console depends on what kind of operation
privileges the user has when the user logs in to HP Systems Insight Manager (see Table 4 (page
15)).

NOTE: User accounts registered to HP Systems Insight Manager are different from the user
accounts for Remote Web Console. To implement single sign-on, you do not need to register the
user accounts of HP Systems Insight Manager to Remote Web Console. If a user logs in with both
ways (to log in directly to Remote Web Console, and to log in with single sign-on from HP Systems
Insight Manager), make sure that the operation privilege of the user account registered to HP
Systems Insight Manager matches the operation privilege of Remote Web Console. If they do not
match, the user has only the operation privilege of HP Systems Insight Manager.
Important Terms and Concepts
The Remote Web Console user should be familiar with the following terms and concepts:
• Disk controller frame. The storage system has one disk controller frame that controls all data
access and storage operations. The storage system provides up to 256 logical CUs and
supports 3990-6, 3990-6E, 2105-F20, 2107, and open-systems controller emulation types.
For storage system program products, a maximum of 255 CUs are available.
The 3990-3 and 2105-E20 controller emulation types are not supported.
• LDKC. The storage system controls CUs in groups of 256. This group is called an LDKC. There
is one LDKC for the storage system and the LDKC is numbered 0.
One LDKC controls up to 256 CUs; however, only 255 CUs are available for the storage
system program products. Therefore, up to 65,280 volumes are available for the storage
system program products.
• Disk array frame. The disk array frame of the storage system contains the storage components
(hard disk drive arrays).
• Parity group. A parity group (also called array group) is a set of hard disk drives that are
treated as one group. For example, a RAID-5 3D+1P parity group consists of four disk drives
(three data and one parity). A parity group contains both user data and parity information,
and the parity information is used to automatically reconstruct the user data if one of the disk
drives in the parity group becomes unavailable.
• LDEV. The storage system supports a maximum of 65,536 LDEVs. However, up to 65,280
volumes are available for the storage system program products.
An LDEV can be called a volume. An LDEV used by mainframe hosts can be called a device
or LVI. An LDEV used by open-system hosts can be called a device (for example, SCSI disk
device, raw device) or a LU.
Only up to 32,640 LDEVs are available for some of the storage system functions or program
products.
• LU. An LDEV used by open-system hosts is called an LU. An open-system LU on the Fibre
Channel interface can be mapped to one or more LDEVs.
• CU. The storage system supports a maximum of 256 logical CUs numbered sequentially from
00-FF. Each CU controls up to 256 LDEVs. LDEVs within the storage system are accessed by
a combination of CU number (00-FF) and device number (00-FF).
However, the CU number FF is reserved for the RAID Manager operation. Therefore, the CUs
that can be used for the storage system program products operation are up to CU number FE.
This means that the number of CUs that can be used for the storage system program products
operation is 255 per LDKC at the maximum.
Table 5 (page 17) shows an example of the device numbers for CU.

• Java application program. Remote Web Console is provided as a Java application. When a
Remote Web Console user accesses and logs in to the desired SVP, the Java application is
downloaded from the SVP to the client computer. The Java application runs in its own window
on the client computer.
• RMI. RMI is a remote procedure call that allows Java objects stored in the network to be run
remotely. In the Remote Web Console network environment, Remote Web Console downloads
Java objects from the SVP.

2 When the SVP supports IPv6, specify IPv6 addresses.
Setting Up Remote Web Console
Your HP service representative installs the SVP software and LAN cabling. You need to document
the SNs and IP addresses of each storage system, because these numbers are required for Remote
Web Console operations.
It is important to verify that you have a unique IP address for each SVP to avoid any conflicts. If a
conflict occurs, determine the SVP IP addresses of all connected storage systems, and obtain a
unique IP address for the desired storage system. You can also contact HP technical support for
assistance in assigning IP addresses.
Configuring the Web Browser
To connect to the desired storage system SVP and use the Remote Web Console Java application,
a web browser is required on the Remote Web Console computer. How to configure a web browser
may differ depending on the version of the OS and web browser. For details on how to configure
your web browser, see your web browser's manual.
CAUTION: Do not access any unreliable websites from your Remote Web Console computer.
To configure your web browser:
1. Make sure that the Remote Web Console computer is connected to a network via a LAN.
CAUTION: Using a modem for network connections is not supported.
2. Make sure that cookies are enabled on the browser.
For Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options from the menu bar of the web browser,
and then click the Privacy tab. Click Advanced in the middle of the Privacy dialog box. In the
Advanced Privacy Settings dialog box, configure as follows:
• Select the override automatic cookie handling option.
• Select Accept for First-party Cookies.
• Select Accept for Third-party Cookies.
• Select the Always allow session cookies option.
For Mozilla, do not select the Disable cookies option.
3. Make sure that your web browser does NOT block pop-up windows.
For Internet Explorer, clear the Block pop-ups check box on the bottom of the Privacy dialog
box.
For Mozilla, clear the Block Pop-up Windows check box.
4. Install Java Runtime Environment (see “System Requirements” (page 18) for the appropriate
version for your operating system). Download JRE from the Java website at http://java.sun.com/
products/archive/. If the Remote Web Console computer is not connected to the Internet,
22 Installation Requirements and Procedures
Page 23
download the JRE install program, and then copy the install program to install JRE on the
Remote Web Console computer. For the procedure to install JRE, follow the instructions in the
JRE install guide.
• For Windows systems, if JRE is installed successfully, Java is displayed in the Control
Panel. Confirm that you can activate JRE using the Java icon.
• For UNIX systems, confirm that you can open the ControlPanel.html file in the
directory where JRE is installed.
If JRE is not installed on a Remote Web Console computer running Windows, JRE is
automatically installed via the Internet when you log in to Remote Web Console.
5. Add the URL of the Tool Panel (see “Tool Panel” (page 91)) to the favorites or bookmarks of
your web browser.
Configuring Remote Web Console over a Firewall
To connect Remote Web Console and SVP over a firewall, configure a firewall to use the following
TCP/IP ports. If the operating system of your Remote Web Console computer is Windows Vista,
this must be done because Windows Vista uses a firewall by default.

Configuring Java
You need to configure Java to enable trace and logging to save the Java log file when an application
error occurs in the Remote Web Console computer. Also, to prevent unexpected contradictions
when the microcode is updated, HP recommends that you disable caching.
CAUTION: To allow Remote Web Console to access the SVP via a proxy server using HTTP, set
the proxy server on your web browser, and then Remote Web Console accesses the SVP using
the proxy server.
If you have set the SVP as an exception on the proxy setting of the web browser, it means that the
proxy server is not used for accessing the SVP. In this case, make the setting for Java the same as
the web browser setting.
This section describes the procedures to configure Java for each JRE version.
JRE 1.4
For JRE 1.4, you do not need to enable trace and logging because trace and logging are enabled
by default.
To disable caching and configure proxy setting for the Java execution:

Configuring Communications over only IPv6
IPv6 can also be used for communications between a Remote Web Console computer and an SVP.
To communicate over only IPv6, both a Remote Web Console computer and an SVP must be
configured to use only IPv6 for communications. For information on how to configure an SVP,
contact HP technical support (see “Calling HP Technical Support” (page 138)).
To use both IPv4 and IPv6 for communications, do not apply the setting described in this section.
In this case, IPv4 has a priority over IPv6.
This section explains how to configure a Remote Web Console computer when its operating system
is Windows Vista or Solaris 10. For other operating systems, contact the appropriate developers.

• You can create and store up to 20,000 settings or operations before actually applying them
to the storage system. To avoid a possible error, do not apply more than 20,000 settings at
a time.
• The layout of a Remote Web Console window is reset when you click Apply, Cancel, Refresh
( ), or Refresh All ( ) on the File menu, or when you switch tabs.
• When you click Refresh All ( ) on the File menu, the information on the SVP is also updated.
Therefore, the processing caused by Refresh All ( ) on the File menu can take some time.
• If there is a difference between the configuration information displayed on the Remote Web
Console and the actual configuration information that can be recognized from the host, the
configuration information displayed on the Remote Web Console can be updated by clicking
Refresh All ( ) on the File menu.
• Do not change the clock time of the Remote Web Console computer while you are using
Remote Web Console.
Log in to Remote Web Console again after you have changed the clock time of the Remote
Web Console computer.
• When the microcode is being updated on the SVP, you must exit and restart all web browsers
on the Remote Web Console.
• If a Remote Web Console user is applying settings, you cannot log in to Remote Web Console
until after those settings have been applied. A wait of longer than five minutes indicates an
abnormal end, in which case you need to exit and restart the browser.
• When an internal process is being executed on the SVP (for example, a configuration change,
option selection, or operational information query), Remote Web Console processing might
be temporarily delayed.

• If you request a change to the storage system configuration while another change is being
made, an error message is displayed.
◦ If the error occurs while you are logging in or clicking Apply to implement changes, wait
for a few minutes, and then retry the operation.
◦ If the error occurs while you are either switching between Modify mode and View mode
or switching tabs, wait for a few minutes, click Refresh ( ) on the File menu, and then
retry the operation.
• If you remain in Modify mode for a certain period of time without making any changes (the
default is 30 minutes), the storage system releases the Modify mode, and you are returned to
View mode. You can change the timeout period. After the Modify mode is released, an error
occurs if you attempt the following actions: clicking Apply, Refresh ( ), or Refresh All ( )
on the File menu, or mode changing buttons ( or ). You can only see information on
Remote Web Console.
• When the HP StorageWorks XP Business Copy Software or Hitachi ShadowImage™ for

configurations. In this case, wait until the quick restore operation completes, and then click
Refresh ( ) or Refresh All ( ) on the File menu to update the Remote Web Console window.
• Do not adjust your computer display while using Remote Web Console (for example, change
the screen resolution or logging in by using the Remote Desktop feature of Microsoft). If you
do so and see unexpected results, return to the normal display by restarting Remote Web
Console.
Certain screen savers change the screen resolution automatically, so you should not use them
while using Remote Web Console.
• Make sure that the Remote Web Console computer does not enter standby or hibernate mode
while using Remote Web Console.
For example, do not manually switch to standby or hibernate mode. Also, do not configure
the Remote Web Console computer to automatically enter standby or hibernate mode if no
operation is performed for a certain period of time. If the Remote Web Console computer
enters standby or hibernate mode, and then returns to normal mode, restart Remote Web
Console.
• If software that has an auto login function is installed on the Remote Web Console computer,
disable the auto login function. The auto login function automatically submits a user ID and
password by using the autocomplete function of a web browser. This allows users to
automatically log in to a program.

This section provides an overview of the login procedure and how to log in to a storage system.
34 Installation Requirements and Procedures
Page 35
Overview of Login Procedures
IMPORTANT: Because the initial user ID administrator has administrator privileges, one of the
first tasks for the Remote Web Console administrator should be to change the password to maintain
protection of the administrator-only and restricted functions. If you are logging in to Remote Web
Console for the first time, use the initial user ID (administrator) and password (administrator) to log
in as a storage administrator, and then change the password. All user IDs and passwords are
case-sensitive. If the administrator password is lost or forgotten, you must call HP technical support
to regain access to the restricted functions.
All Remote Web Console (Java client) users are required to log in to the Remote Web Console
SVP (web server) with a valid user ID and password before executing the Remote Web Console
Java application program. You need the user account for which the Account Administrator Role is
set to Modify to register the Remote Web Console user accounts (see “Account Window” (page 70)).
Figure 12 (page 35) shows an overview of the login process.
Figure 12 Login Process
Table 12 Specifications and Restrictions Concerning Login Operations
SpecificationItem
The storage system can support up to 32 concurrent users.
The exceptions are displaying the Performance Monitor window and executing
the Export Tool, where the limit is two concurrent users.
Maximum number of concurrent users
The same user can concurrently log in to more than one SVP.
If you execute multiple Java application programs for multiple SVPs, insufficient
memory may degrade performance.
Logging in to multiple SVPs (web
servers)
The same user (ID) may not have multiple concurrent sessions with the same
SVPs (web servers).
Logging in to the same SVPs (web
servers) more than once concurrently
If you have failed to log in three times with the same user ID, Remote Web

Permission for Accessing Local Client Files
Java applications have a security feature that prohibits the Java applications from accessing local
files on client computers. To use Remote Web Console, you must give Remote Web Console
permission to access local files on your computer.
Figure 13 (page 36) shows the concept of the Java application security.
Figure 13 Concept of Java Application Security
Figure 13 (page 36) shows that Remote Web Console with digital signature can access local files
with user approval. The digital signature has an expiration date that might be expired depending
on the Remote Web Console version you use. Even if the digital signature is expired, you can
continue using Remote Web Console.
The dialog box that appears when you log in depends on the JRE versions. See the following
description and take the appropriate action in the displayed dialog box.
• For JRE 1.4
Figure 14 Security Warning Dialog Box (for JRE 1.4)

Changing Between View Mode and Modify Mode
Remote Web Console has two operation modes: Modify and View.
• View mode is for viewing the settings of the storage system. The operation mode is View mode
when you log in to Remote Web Console.
• Modify mode locks the setting operation of other users so that they cannot change the settings
of the storage system.
You must operate in Modify mode to change the settings of the storage system. You also need
the operation privileges of the function to change the settings of the storage system. For detailed
information on setting operation privileges, see “Changing User Operation Privileges”
(page 103).
Only one user can be in Modify mode for each storage system. While a storage administrator is
in Modify mode, all other users can only view the storage system information in View mode. If the
Starting Up and Logging In to Remote Web Console 41
Page 42
storage system is partitioned, only one user can be in Modify mode for each SLPR. Any other users
in the allocated SLPR can only view the storage system information in View mode. Some dialog
boxes are not displayed in View mode. To view such information in View mode, view the Reports
Display dialog box.
To change between View mode and Modify mode:
1. Verify that the icon is displayed, which indicates that the storage system is unlocked.
2. Click the Mode Changing icon, which should be in View mode ( ).
Once you are in Modify mode, the Mode Changing icon changes from a gray background
to a yellow background ( ), and the Locked icon ( ) is displayed. Also a progress bar
appears on the Remote Web console main window showing the remaining time period for
Modify mode (see “Extending the Modify Mode Timeout Period” (page 42)).
3. Once you have applied your desired changes, click the Mode Changing icon ( ) to change
back to View mode.
Extending the Modify Mode Timeout Period
When you change from View mode to Modify mode, a progress bar showing the Modify mode
timeout period appears on the Remote Web Console main window.
Figure 24 Progress Bar Showing the Modify Mode Timeout
The progress bar shows the remaining time period in which Modify mode is available. The remaining
time period for Modify mode is also numerically displayed on the progress bar. The default for
the Modify mode timeout period is 30 minutes. You can click the Reset button on the right of the
progress bar to extend the Modify mode time period. For example, if the Modify mode timeout
period is set as 30 minutes (default), the Modify mode time period is extended for 30 minutes, as
you click the Reset button.
If you do not access the SVP while in Modify mode, the progress bar decreases. When you reach
the specified Modify mode timeout period, Modify mode is released.
NOTE: If Modify mode is released due to a time out, the settings made but not yet applied will
be canceled on some windows. Therefore, make sure that you have enough time remaining in
Modify mode to complete your work by clicking Reset while you are using the following windows:
• V-VOL window
• All windows and dialog boxes used for HP StorageWorks XP Continuous Access Software,
HP StorageWorks XP Continuous Access Journal Software, and XP Business Copy operations
• All windows and dialog boxes used for Hitachi TrueCopy™ for Mainframe, Universal Replicator
for Mainframe, and ShadowImage for Mainframe operations
• Volume Security window
• All windows and dialog boxes used for XP External Storage operations
• License Key window
You can change the Modify mode timeout period using the RMI time-out period for Modify parameter
on the Set Env. dialog box. You have to log in as a storage administrator with the Storage
Administrator Role set to Enable to change the setting of RMI time-out period for Modify. See
“Setting the Environment Parameters” (page 106) for instructions. If you disable this parameter by
specifying NO, the progress bar that shows the Modify mode timeout period is not displayed on
the Remote Web Console main window, even though the mode is changed to Modify.

License Keys
A license key is a textual key that functions as a password because it is entered into Remote Web
Console and unlocks the protection of an option. Because each license key is generated with a
storage system serial number and option ID input, each storage system requires a unique license
key code. License key codes for each option (including the Java application) and storage system
are provided when you purchase program product options.
To input the license key, enter a license key code or a license key file containing multiple license
key codes. A license key file is provided when you purchase program product options.
Figure 25 Overview of License Keys and Option Installation
Table 13 (page 43) describes the types of license keys.

Temporary Key
A temporary key is for trial use. 75 days after the temporary license key is installed (or when there
are 45 days left before the expiration), a warning message is displayed on the Remote Web
Console main window when you start the Remote Web Console option. 120 days after the
temporary license key is installed, the temporary license key expires. A message appears warning
the user of the expiration of the license key, and the license key expiration is also reported to the
host. After the temporary key has expired, you cannot re-install the temporary key for 180 days.
• When the license key for a program product expires, the license key for a program product
that requires the expired program product will be also disabled.
• For ShadowImage for Mainframe, XP Business Copy, TrueCopy for Mainframe, XP Continuous
Access, Universal Replicator for Mainframe, XP Continuous Access Journal, HP StorageWorks
XP External Storage Access Manager Software, LUN Manager, XP Auto LUN, Volume Security,
License Keys 43
Page 44
Volume Retention Manager, and Data Retention Utility, the expiration of a temporary license
key has the following effects:
◦ No new configuration settings may be performed.
◦ The configuration settings that were made before the temporary license key expired
remain in effect and cannot be deleted. Non-configuration settings that were made before
the temporary license key expired can be deleted from the SVP only (not from Remote
Web Console).
• For Virtual LVI/LUN, LUN Expansion, Cache Residency Manager for Mainframe, Cache
Residency Manager, HP StorageWorks XP for Compatible Parallel Access Volumes Software,
and HP StorageWorks XP Compatible Hyper PAV, the expiration of a temporary license key
has the following effects:
◦ No new configuration settings may be performed.
◦ The configuration settings that were made before the temporary license key expired
remain in effect and cannot be deleted.
• For Performance Monitor and XP Performance Control, the expiration of a temporary license
key has the following effects:
◦ No monitoring functions may be performed.
◦ No new configuration settings (for example, upper limit control, threshold control, or
selection of port type) may be performed.
◦ Configuration settings that were made before the temporary license key expired may be
expunged from the SVP only (not from the Remote Web Console). Contact your HP service
representative (see “Calling HP Technical Support” (page 138)).
Permanent Key
A permanent key is purchased to use program product options indefinitely. A permanent key has
an upper limit of volume capacity that can be used for each program product option.
Before purchasing the permanent key, you need to estimate the volume capacity that can be used
for the program product option. This volume capacity is called the licensed capacity. If you add
volumes and the available amount of volume capacity exceeds the licensed capacity, Capacity
Insufficient is displayed in Status in the License Key window. In this case, you need to purchase
the additional license to cover the capacity shortage within 30 days. For details on the licensed
capacity, see “Licensed Capacity” (page 45).
If you use HP StorageWorks XP Thin Provisioning Software, the licensed capacity might become
insufficient even though you did not add any volumes. When you use XP Thin Provisioning, see
the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Thin Provisioning Software User Guide for details on
the license capacity.
Term Key
A term key is purchased to use the program product option for a specified number days.
• The term key is available for 365 days.
• You can set the term key to enable or disable each program product option.
Only days when the program product option is enabled with the term key are deducted from
the 365 days when the date changes.
For example, if the term key is set to Enable for 150 days and set to Disable for 100 days
after you installed the term key, there are 215 remaining days (365 days minus 150 days),
although 250 days have passed in total.
You can delay the expiration of the term key by setting the term key to Disable when you are
not using the program product option.
44 Installation Requirements and Procedures
Page 45
• The term key, which is the same as the permanent key, has a limit for the volume capacity
that can be used for each program product option.
If you add volumes and the available amount of volume capacity exceeds the licensed capacity,
Capacity Insufficient will be displayed in Status in the License Key window. In this case, you
need to purchase an additional license to cover the capacity shortage within 30 days. For
details on the licensed capacity, see “Licensed Capacity” (page 45).
If you use XP Thin Provisioning, the licensed capacity might be insufficient even if you did not
add any volumes. When you use XP Thin Provisioning, see the HP StorageWorks
XP24000/XP20000 XP Thin Provisioning Software User Guide for details on the license
capacity.
• If the term key has expired, you can install a program product option with another license
key.
When the term key has expired, Not Installed is displayed in Status in the License Key window.
You can install the temporary key, the term key, the emergency key, or the permanent key to
the program product option in this status.
• When the license key for a program product (A) expires, the license key for a program product
(B) that requires the expired program product (A) will be also disabled.
When this occurs, Not Enough is displayed in the Status of the program product (B) in the
License Key window.
Emergency Key
An emergency license key is used in situations where the temporary key or the term key is set to
expire in the near future and the user cannot get the permanent key in time because of special
circumstances (for example, a licensed server has crashed or there are problems with the
communication infrastructure). An emergency key may also be used when a user who does not
intend to purchase the option needs to undo a configuration change that was made during the
lifetime of the temporary key or the term key.
• An emergency key is effective for 30 days.
If you forcibly install an emergency key for an option that already has a permanent key or
term key, the license for that option will expire in 30 days.
• When the license key for a program product expires, the license key of a program product
that requires the expired program product will be also disabled.
Licensed Capacity
The licensed capacity is the volume capacity that you are licensed to use with a program product
option. You need to estimate the amount of capacity that you want to use with the program product
option before you purchase the permanent key or the term key. The licensed capacity has three
types depending on the program product option.
Table 14 (page 46) explains the licensed capacity types and how to estimate the licensed capacity.
For details on which licensed capacity type should be estimated for the program product option,
see “Remote Web Console Options and Licensed Capacity” (page 47).
Licensed Capacity 45
Page 46
Table 14 Licensed Capacity Type
How to Estimate the Licensed CapacityExplanationType
See “Estimating Licensed Capacity
Based on Used Capacity” (page 46).
The licensed capacity is estimated using the
capacity that the program product option will use.
The estimated capacity differs depending on the
program product option:
• Normal volumes (local volumes)
• External volumes mapped to the storage system
• Pools
Used capacity
See “Estimating Licensed Capacity
Based on Mounted Capacity”
(page 47).
The licensed capacity is estimated using the

Estimating Licensed Capacity Based on Used Capacity
There are three capacities to use for estimating the licensed capacity, depending on the program
product option:
• Normal volume capacity
The method to calculate normal volume capacity depends on the volume emulation types.
Table 15 Methods for Calculating Capacity of a Normal Volume
Formula for Calculating Capacity of a Normal VolumeVolume Emulation Type
720 KB x (number of user cylinders)3380-x
870 KB x (number of user cylinders)3390-x
Same as the capacity specified when creating the volume.OPEN-x
NOTE: In the left column of Table 15 (page 46), x indicates a number or a letter. For example,
OPEN-x refers to emulation types such as OPEN-3 and OPEN-V.
You can use the formulas in Table 15 (page 46) to estimate capacity for purchase. An example
is given in Table 16 (page 46).
Table 16 An Example of Estimating Capacity for Purchase Based on Used Capacity
ValueItem
3390-3Volume emulation type
3,339Number of user cylinders
2,048Number of volumes
870 KB x 3,339 x 2,048 = 5,949,296,640 KB
5,949,296,640 KB 1,024 = 5,809,860 MB
5,809,860 MB 1,024 = 5,673.70 GB
5,673.70 GB 1,024 = 5.54 TB
Total capacity of all the volumes
At least 6 TBEstimated capacity for purchase
• External volume capacity
The method to calculate external volume capacity is as follows:
46 Installation Requirements and Procedures
Page 47
External Volume Capacity (KB) = Volume Capacity (number of blocks) × 512 (byte) 1,024
• Pool capacity
The license capacity of XP Thin Provisioning is calculated using the total capacity of the
XP Thin Provisioning pool.
◦
◦ If you use V-VOLs of XP Thin Provisioning as P-VOLs or S-VOLs of XP Business Copy/XP
Continuous Access/XP Continuous Access Journal, the license capacity of XP Business
Copy/XP Continuous Access/XP Continuous Access Journal is calculated using the page
capacity allocated to the XP Thin Provisioning V-VOLs (that is, used pool capacity).
For instructions on how to calculate pool capacity, see the HP StorageWorks
XP24000/XP20000 Thin Provisioning Software User Guide.
Estimating Licensed Capacity Based on Mounted Capacity
To estimate licensed capacity based on mounted capacity, convert both capacities to the GB unit.
When converting mounted capacity from TB to GB units, multiply by 1,000. On the other hand,
when converting licensed capacity from TB to GB units, multiply by 1,024.
Table 17 Example A of Estimating Capacity for Purchase
ValueItem
10.3 TB = 10.3 x 1,000 = 10,300 GBMounted capacity
10 TB = 10 x 1,024 = 10,240 GB < 10,300 GB
11 TB = 11 x 1,024 = 11,264 GB > 10,300 GB
Licensed capacity
At least 11 TBEstimated capacity for purchase
As shown in Table 18 (page 47), the required licensed capacity is not always greater than the
mounted capacity. At larger capacities, the difference between the conversion factors (1,000 and
1,024) has a greater (inverse) effect on the equivalent licensed capacity.
Table 18 Example B of Estimating Capacity for Purchase
ValueItem
165.62 TB = 165.62 x 1,000 = 165,620 GBMounted capacity
161 TB = 161 x 1,024 = 164,864 GB < 165,620 GB
162 TB = 162 x 1,024 = 165,888 GB > 165,620 GB
Licensed capacity
At least 162 TBEstimated capacity for purchase

Reports Display Dialog Boxes
The Reports Display dialog box displays the basic configuration information for the storage system.
When you log in as a storage partition administrator, the information on the allocated SLPR is
displayed. The Reports Display dialog box is displayed apart from the Remote Web Console main
window; therefore, it can be displayed regardless of the operation of the Remote Web Console
options. For example, when you perform the setting operation for one of the Remote Web Console
options, you may need to check the existing setting information on the ports or LUNs. In this situation,
you can display the Reports Display dialog box and look at the basic configuration information at
the same time.
To open the Reports Display dialog box, log in to Remote Web Console, and then select File and
Reports from the menu bar of the Remote Web Console main window. For detailed information

If the user cannot access the SVP for a certain period of time because of a network error,
the RMI time-out logs the user out of the SVP. This has the following parameters:
• The default is 1 minute. You can specify 1 minute, 5 - 60 minutes in 5-minute
increments, 70 to 120 minutes in 10-minute increments, or One day (24 hours).
• The value of the RMI time-out period must be greater than the value set for the smallest
polling period, either for checking exclusive lock or for checking obstacles (see the
following for those parameters). For example, specify a value of the RMI time-out
period to satisfy the following condition:
RMI time-out period > min [A, B]
where
A = Polling period for checking exclusive lock
B = Polling period for checking obstacles, and min [A, B] indicates
the minimum value selected from A and B.
You cannot disable this parameter.
RMI time-out period
If a user is in Modify mode but does not make any changes that access the RMI server
for a specified period of time, Modify mode is released, and View mode appears.
• The default time period is 30 minutes. You can specify between 10 and 60 minutes
in 10-minute increments, or between 120 and 360 minutes in 60-minute increments.
• Specify NO to disable this parameter.
RMI time-out period for
Modify

mode when other users are viewing the storage system information in View mode. The
Locked and Unlocked icons are automatically updated either when a user who is in
Modify mode logs out of Remote Web Console or changes to View mode (see “Icons”
(page 55)).
• The default time period is 35 seconds. You can specify 5 to 60 in 5-second increments,
or 70 to 120 in 10-second increments. The shorter the time period you specify, the
more frequently the Lock/Unlock status is updated, but this does increase network
traffic.
• Specify NO to disable this parameter.
Polling period for checking
exclusive lock
Specify a time interval to monitor the Disk Controller and Disk Array Unit status, which
is displayed by the status lamp icon on the Alerts window of the Remote Web Console
main window.
• The default time period is 110 seconds. You can specify 5 to 60 seconds in 5-second
increments, and 70 to 120 seconds in 10-second increments for the parameter.
• Specify NO to disable this parameter. HP recommends that you select NO when the

If storage partition administrators want to use the program product options for their own SLPRs,
storage administrators have to install the program product options using the License Key window,
and then allocate the licensed capacity for each program product option to SLPRs using the License
Key Partition Definition window. For a description of the License Key Partition Definition window
and the procedure for allocating licensed capacity to the SLPRs, see the HP StorageWorks
XP24000/XP20000 Disk/Cache Partition User Guide.

Enabling Options Automatically
When the licensed capacity exceeds the mounted capacity after you reduce the number of disk
drives, or when the licensed capacity exceeds the used capacity after you delete pairs or pools,
you can automatically enable the available Remote Web Console options using the Available

Whether the options can be enabled using the Available button depends on the relationship
between the licensed capacity and the mounted capacity of the disk drives (or the used capacity
of the pairs or pools). Table 29 (page 99) shows the condition to enable the Available button.
