Service Processor

The HP SureStore E Disk Array XP512 Hardware
The service processor (SVP) is a built-in PC connected inside the disk
control frame. The SVP gives your HP Service Representative a method to
access the software system on the disk array.
Your HP Service Representative uses the SVP to configure, maintain, and
upgrade your disk array software and hardware. The service processor also
collects performance data on the disk array for diagnostic testing and
analysis.
To protect the user's security, the SVP does not have access to any user data
stored on the disk array.
