The Agent can also be used as a standalone application without Client. In this mode,
which is referred to as Agent only, Agent monitors the status of the subsystem and
provides local and remote notification in the event of a failure. A subsystem includes the
HSG80 controller and its devices. Remote and local notification can be made by email
and/or SNMP messages to an SNMP monitoring program.
NOTE: For serial and SCSI connections, the Agent is not required for creating virtual disks.
