XPMap - Array visualization tool for HP and HDS Hi-End family arrays

XPMap is the macros written in VBA for MS Excel language. It processes resulting AllConf.csv output of RAID450/500 Offline tool to produse a number of MS Excel tables with detailed map of ACP-pairs, RAID-groups, LDEVs/LUSEs and Host-groups disposition

Supported Arrays

Current version XPMap-0.62 can build visualization maps for:

• HDS NSC-55
• HP XP-12000
• HP XP-1024
• HP XP-128

Installation

1. Download XPMap
2. Run RAID450/500 Offline Tool for the target array
3. Start MS Excel and enable macros support
4. Open xpmap-<version>.xls in MS Excel and allow macroses
5. Specify the full path to AllConf.csv file from the output directory of RAID450/500 Offline Tool
6. Check options and press Start button

Limitations and TO-DO List

As XPMap is in development state, only basic functions are implemented: ACP-pairs, RAID-groups, LDEVs/LUSEs and Host-groups. In the future I plan to:

• increase the number of supported arrays and the nearest task is to complete the full lines of HP and HDS Hi-End models
• add visualization of External storage and Logical Partitions
• expand summary page
• add spare-drive information
• add Shadow Image (Business Copy), True Copy (Continuous Access) support

Support for RAID400 arrays, for example HP XP512 are not planned
