Migration User Guide for the HP Command View XP Portfolio and HP XP Remote Web Console 21
4 Install Command 
View and 
Command View 
AE on the same 
management 
server
Command View and 
Command View AE are 
co-installed on the same 
management server.
Some arrays are managed 
with Command View, and 
others are managed with 
Command View AE. No 
array should be managed 
by both Command View 
and Command View AE 
at the same time.
Remote Web Console is 
present in Command View 
AE. Its presence in 
Command View depends 
on the firmware version.
• SMI-S uses the same port for both 
Command View and Command View 
AE. For simplicity, only one SMI-S 
component should be running on the 
same server. Both Command View 
and Command View AE SMI-S are 
disabled by default after the 
installation.
• Both Command View and Command 
View AE use port 162 for SNMP Trap 
listening. Both applications cannot 
listen for traps at the same time. If 
SNMP Trap listening is disabled in 
Command View AE, the arrays cannot 
notify Command View AE when an 
event occurs. However, the Alert 
feature of Command View AE will 
continue to regularly poll the arrays 
for events.
You can consider having 
both Command View and 
Command View AE if you 
prefer using Command 
View to manage existing 
arrays while transitioning 
to Command View AE to 
manage newly purchased 
arrays.
5 Install Command 
View and 
Command View 
AE on separate 
management 
servers
Command View and 
Command View AE are 
installed on separate 
management servers. 
The array is managed by 
either Command View or 
Command View AE (not 
both at the same time).
Remote Web Console is 
present in Command View 
AE. Its presence in 
Command View depends 
on the firmware version.
• See the HP StorageWorks Command 
View XP Advanced Edition Device 
Manager Server Installation and 
Configuration Guide on the 
documentation CD for the minimum 
system requirement and the supported 
browser and JRE version. 
• Ability for both 
applications to  
receive SNMP traps 
for XP arrays.
• If you do not have a 
very powerful 
management server 
and you are 
concerned with the 
limitation associated 
with installing both 
Command View and 
Command View AE on 
the same server, you 
can choose to install 
the two applications 
on separate servers.
