Hi,

What is the differences (function, feature, etc) those software's that used by HP

Those software are

Rodi,

1: Command View SDM is required for device management of the virtual array
2: Enterprise management smart plugin allows command view SDm to work with HP Openview NNM for HP-UX , Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0, HP TopTools 4.5 and 5.0, CA Unicenter TNG, Tivoli Netview and BMC Patrol.
3: HP Autopath: Provides fully automated multi-path fail-over and dynamic load balancing of all I/O data paths to the Virtual Array.
4: Business Copy: Virtual array based data replication software that allows you to create non-disruptive, high performance, local business copies of any active application volume.

Look at http://www.hp.com/products1/storage/disk_arrays/modular/index.html for more info.

Hi,

On AutoPath there's no differnce with XP version.
With BusinessCopy there's a lot different. On VA it's based on snapshot technology on the XP it's a full copy (1:1).
