A Installation checklist
This appendix contains a helpful installation checklist that you can print out and reference when installing
and setting up Command View. For details about each task, refer to ”Installation” on page 11.
Verifying the system requirements
• Verify that the hardware and disk space requirements are met on the Command View management
station and Web client (page 12).
• Verify that the firmware requirements are met on all disk arrays. Refer to the HP StorageWorks
Command View XP ReadMe for more information.
• If you plan to use Path Connectivity, verify that the host agent operating system and disk space
requirements are met (page 14).
• If you plan to use Path Connectivity, verify that supported HBAs are installed on the host (page 15).
• If you are installing the Command View CLI and/or Path Connectivity CLI, verify the requirements are
met (page 18).
Installing Command View
• Implement the recommended network configuration (page 19).
• If you place a disk array behind a firewall, set up the ports to bypass the firewall (page 20).
• If you are using multiple LAN cards, configure the first LAN card to communicate with the hosts and
Command View API clients on the SAN and modify the APIServer.cfg file to point to the first LAN
card. (page 20).
• Verify that the Command View management station system name does not contain spaces or illegal
characters (page 21).
• If you are installing Command View in a secure SSL environment, verify the correct procedures are
used. See ”Install SSL for secure communication (optional)” on page 22.
• Install the SNMP service, which is needed to view events in the Command View Event History pane.
SNMP is also needed if you plan to integrate Command View with other management applications
(page 22).
• Verify that the SNMP service is installed and running (page 22).
• Install Command View on the management station (page 22).
• Verify Command View installation, services, and execution (page 24 and page 25). Please note that
you cannot manage an XP disk array with more than one Command View management station at a
time.
