12 HP 3PAR Storage System Hardware
Overview
HP 3PAR storage systems are available in a variety of hardware configurations. Different models
address different levels of storage capacity and anticipated growth requirements. All models use
the HP 3PAR Operating System (OS).
Hardware monitoring and configuration tasks can be performed with both the HP 3PAR Command
Line Interface (CLI) and the HP 3PAR Management Console. Refer to the HP 3PAR Command Line
Interface Administrator’s Manual and the HP 3PAR Management Console Online Help for instructions
on how to perform hardware management tasks. For detailed information about ports, network
adapters, cabling, and cable configurations, see the physical planning manual for your storage
system model.
WARNING! With the exception of Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts, the servicing of HP hardware
is to be performed by authorized technicians, including HP field engineers, Value Added Resellers
(VARs), certified self-maintaining customers, and, in some cases, authorized third-party field
technicians, who are authorized by HP to install HP 3PAR storage systems and their hardware
components.
