HP StorageWorks 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.
