52 Installation checklist
Setting up Command View
• If you are moving from an existing management station to a new management station, use the Backup
Utility to migrate the Command View data, settings, and preferences from the previous management
station (page 31).
• If you are managing an XP128/XP1024/XP12000, disable the Web proxy for your Web browser
(page 32).
• If you are using Internet Explorer for your Command View browser client session, verify that the
browser has been configured correctly (page 32).
• If you are using Mozilla for your Command View browser client session, verify that the browser has
been configured correctly (page 33).
• If needed, change the session timeout value (page 33).
• Add the disk arrays to Command View (page 34).
• Install any license keys if you need to enable array product features such as Business Copy or
Continuous Access (page 34).
• Install the Command View Command Line Interface (CLI) if needed (page 35).
Setting up Path Connectivity
• Add FC switches through Path Connectivity (page 36).
• Install the host agents (page 38). If you have purchased HP StorageWorks Command View SDM, do
not deploy Path Connectivity host agents and Command View SDM host agents on the same host
system. They cannot co-exist.
• Verify Path Connectivity is working correctly and is able to collect data from the XP disk arrays, hosts,
and switches (page 42).
• Install the Path Connectivity Command Line Interface (CLI) if needed (page 42).
Other related procedures
• Add or remove host agent installation files on the management station (page 42). If you have already
installed Command View and Path Connectivity, but need to add or remove operating systems that
your hosts will be running, complete this step.
Integrating the snap-in modules into Command View
• Install Performance Advisor XP or HP StorageWorks Application Policy Manager on the Command
View management station (page 43).
Integrating Command View with other platforms
• Integrate Storage Area Manager with Command View (page 43).
• Integrate other management platforms and applications with Command View (page 44).
