50 HP SureStore E Disk Array XP512/XP48: Owner’s Guide
The following figure illustrates how the remote console and host connect to
the XP48.
Figure 8. The XP48 Connections
1. The remote console connects via the XP48 LAN connection. The XP48
has an Ethernet connection to connect your disk array to a private LAN
or a public (Internet) LAN.
2. The host server uses a Fibre Channel or ESCON connection.
The specific hardware requirements for your remote console PC, such as
the required processor speed, storage capacity, and memory, will vary
depending on the optional software that you use and the number of disk
array frames you have connected to the system.
To protect your users’ security, the remote control software for the remote
console PC does not have access to any user data stored on the disk array.
There is no single point of failure in the disk array. It is designed with
redundant controllers and redundant power supplies, all of which can be
removed or replaced without interrupting access to your data.
Caution
Only your HP Service Representative can remove or replace hardware.
