Discovering HP XP Arrays by Using Command View XP and SMI-S

Before you can discover XP arrays, you must download and install the XP SMI-S Provider software. For instructions, see the HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array and Command View XP document for your version of Command View XP. You can access this document at: http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim/providers.
