Operating the Device Manager agent
This section explains Device Manager agent operations.
Managing the operating status of the Device Manager agent service
Immediately after Device Manager agent installation is completed, the Device Manager agent service
is enabled. If you change settings in a properties file or execute a command, restart the Device
Manager agent service as necessary.
Execute the hbsasrv command to start, stop, or check the operating status of the Device Manager
agent service.
CAUTION:
If you urgently need to stop the Device Manager agent, you can force the Device Manager agent to
shut down by executing the hbsasrv command with the stop -f option. In such a case, all processing
by the Device Manager agent service is forced to terminate, thus ongoing processing of jobs is not
guaranteed.
NOTE:
When the Device Manager agent service is started, the following service or daemon process will be
started (dependent on the OS):
In Windows:
hbsa_service.exe (Service name: HBsA Service)
In UNIX:
hbsa_service
Reporting Manually reporting to the Device Manager server
When the configuration of a storage system connected to a host or the configuration of a file system
on a host is changed, you can reflect the changes to the Device Manager server by manually executing
the HiScan command.
NOTE:
Information about the host on which a Device Manager agent is installed is automatically reflected
to the Device Manager server in the following cases:
• When the HiScan command is automatically executed
• When the host is started
• When host information is updated from the Device Manager GUI
