Installation guide

36 Installation

Path Connectivity is installed as part of the Command View installation, and it is required to manage an

XP disk array with Command View. However, you have to perform additional steps (primarily installing

host agents) to make Path Connectivity active.

Path Connectivity runs on the Command View management station. Path Connectivity has a Command

Line Interface (CLI) that can run on a host connected to the Command View management station.
