HP Storage Array

The HP Storage Adapter communicates to SAP LVM using API integration and provides array related functionality for System Clone, System Copy, System Refresh, and Application Migration. The HP Storage Adapter sends requests to the common HP Storage Provider using web services to interact with the underlying HP Storage Arrays.

The HP Storage Provider implements the array functionality. The Storage Provider provides a common layer for the various HP storage arrays. The Common HP Storage Provider interprets the request from the Storage Adapter, separates the HP 3PAR StoreServ and XP P9000 requests and communicates with the underlying HP Storage Array through HP 3PAR StoreServ SMI-S or HP XP P9000 RMI.

HP Storage Library must be deployed on every managed SAP landscape. The Storage Library interacts with the SAP host agents and the underlying operating system.
