Software Pre-requisites

Adobe Acrobat Reader (to read product install and admin guides)
Device Managers for each managed device (arrays, switches, tape libraries, etc.)
Microsoft Internet Explorer - or - Netscape Navigator
Performance Metrics:

Storage Optimizer relies on HBA SNIA libraries to gather performance information for hosts.
OpenView Performance Agents (OVPA) or OpenView Operations (OVO}) provide additional metrics. SNIA
libraries are available, at no cost, with all major operating systems. If both OVPA and OVO (both are
purchased items) are to be present, OVPA most be installed first.
Storage Optimizer may also leverage performance reporting tools for collecting device-specific performance
data. For example, HP StorageWorks Performance Advisor XP is required for performance metrics from the
HP XP array family.

Software Warranty

Warranty code 3U; duration of limited warranty: 90 days from the day of purchase, replacement of defective media

Software Licensing

The software licenses are based on terabytes (TB) of storage capacity managed by SAM. The application product comes with
a license-to-use (LTU) to manage 1, 5, 10, or 50 TB and the first year of 8x5 support. The media product comes with SAM
software on CD and documentation. Installation keys are shipped when HP OpenView Storage Area Manager suite or
individual [tier-] product numbers are ordered. These keys must be registered to convert them to permanent "operational
keys". Storage Area Manager utilizes two types of licenses: installation and operational.
Installation licenses are included on the entitlement Certificate that is delivered with the software. These licenses enables
you to use Storage Area Manager or the individual SAM product for 60 days after initial installation, which allows you time
to request, receive and install your operational license(s); and evaluate each Storage Area Manager applications.

Features

The HP OpenView Storage Area Manager (SAM) software suite consists of five components: HP OpenView Storage Node Manager (device management); HP
OpenView Storage Builder (capacity management); HP OpenView Storage Optimizer (performance management); HP OpenView Storage Allocater (storage
allocation and virtualized access control); and HP OpenView Storage Accountant (storage usage metering and billing). Each component functions either
individually or together to enable integrated storage resource, application capacity and infrastructure management. This highly flexible "building block"
architecture and out-of the box integration capabilities ensure rapid deployment and quick return on investment, while allowing an enterprise to address its
most urgent management problems first.
