HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.4.1-00 Administrator Guide (TB581-96334, April 2013)

Changing device file names (AIX)
If you change a device file name by using the rendev command on a host whose OS is AIX 7.1 or
AIX 6.1 TL6 or later, the new device name must be specified by using printable ASCII characters only.
If a character other than a printable ASCII character is included in the name, the Device Manager
agent will not work properly.
Device Manager agent in a Linux host environment
If you attempt to display the Device Manager agent package information using the rpm -V command,
the command will fail. This does not affect Device Manager agent operations.
Setting up the Device Manager agent
This section explains the settings required to start Device Manager agent operations.
If the following settings were not specified during a new installation of the Device Manager agent,
execute the hdvmagt_setting command to specify the required settings.
• Settings for Device Manager server information (required)
• Settings for the interval for reporting host information to the Device Manager server (optional)
• Settings for managing copy pairs (optional)
In addition, specify the following settings as necessary:
• Settings for changing the Java execution environment (optional)
• Settings for changing the user of the Device Manager agent service (optional)
• Settings required when 100 or more LUs are managed for a host (optional)
Setting Device Manager server information in Device Manager agent
If the configuration of the Device Manager server to be notified is changed, you need to execute the
hdvmagt_setting command to reconfigure the Device Manager server information as follows in
the Device Manager agent.
• Switching the Device Manager server to be notified
• Changing the IP address or host name of the management server (Device Manager server)
• Changing the port number of the Device Manager server
• Changing the user ID or password of the account for the Device Manager agent
Automatically reporting host information to the Device Manager server
To automatically report host information from a Device Manager agent to the Device Manager server,
use the hdvmagt_schedule command to set a notification interval (a HiScan command execution
interval).
If Device Manager agents are installed on multiple hosts, set the notification intervals to daily or weekly
to reduce the load on the Device Manager server. Adjust the execution time so that multiple hosts are
not notifying the Device Manager server at the same time.
The currently set execution time can be checked from KAIC22805-I messages and KAIC22804-I
messages in the HiScan.log file, which is stored in the following locations:
