Storage Administrator and Storage Partition Administrator
Privileges
Once the XP Disk/Cache Partition license key has been installed for the HP StorageWorks XP Remote
Web Console Java API, a storage administrator with write permission for XP Disk/Cache Partition
can then log on to the storage system and allocate license capacities to various storage logical
partitions as needed, using the License Key Partition Definition panel. See “License Key Partition
Definition Window” on page 24 for a description of the window, and
“Partitioning and Allocating Licensed Capacity to Storage Logical Partitions” on page 30 for instructions
on allocating license key capacity to the SLPRs.
You will need to either purchase an unlimited license for an option, or allocate the license capacity
for that option among the various SLPRs. You will also need to enable or disable each option for each
of the storage logical partitions. You cannot use an option in SLPRs until the license capacity has been
allocated.
NOTE:
A storage partition administrator has authority only within the assigned storage logical partition.
Only storage administrators can make settings for SLPR 0. The storage administrator can also assign
write permission for one or more of the following functions:
• Open Volume Management
• Volume Shredder
• Data Retention Utility
• LUN Manager
• Cache Residency Manager
• XP Performance Monitor
• XP Remote Web Console
• API

storage partition administrators. Storage administrators have sole access to the following functions:
