Integrated Management
HP NetServer disk subsystems are completely integrated with Hewlett-Packard server
management software, allowing you to monitor and manage disks on local and remote
servers. For example, if you have installed HP TopTools for Servers, then software agents
automatically monitor the server system and provide the following server mass storage
alerts to the system operator:
Disk capacity threshold alert and usage tracking
SCSI controller and device failure notification (co-developed with Adaptec
Predictive failure analysis that warns of probable disk problem(s)
HP SureStore tape backup devices support the "TapeAlert" feature that makes backups
more manageable. TapeAlert functions as a continuous monitor that informs backup
applications of possible erroneous conditions that could be developing in any backup
device. Further, it specifies the appropriate course of action to the backup administrator.
Thereby, TapeAlert helps to assure that all backups are completed successfully.
Summary
As we have demonstrated throughout this paper, HP has continually provided leadership in
the areas of storage and controller development and product implementation. Most
recently, HP has been very active with the I
now offering leading-edge products with these capabilities.
As you, the reader, carefully consider your storage needs from the viewpoints of the issues
and solutions presented here, it is clear that HP has the experience to understand your
mass storage needs. HP will continue to offer products, based upon the best choices in
technology, that will meet your performance, availability, and manageability needs both
