2. Use the Device Manager agent hdvmagt_setting command to configure the central

management method settings. (This is recommended.)

3. Write the command device settings into the perf_cmddev.properties file.

To write the settings into the file, execute the perf_findcmddev command or edit the file

directly.

CAUTION:

• If you are using the Device Manager agent version 6.3 or earlier and you want to use

a storage system in an SLPR environment, directly edit the perf_cmddev.properties

file to define command devices for SLPRs.

• If you upgrade the Device Manager agent from version 6.3 or earlier to version 6.4 or

later, the settings in the perf_cmddev.properties file remain unchanged. If you

are using a storage system in an SLPR environment, after the upgrade installation finishes,

refresh the information of SLPR command devices defined in the perf_cmddev.prop-

erties file.

Preparing the Device Manager server to acquire performance information

For a Device Manager server property, specify the name of the host that will acquire performance

information.

Specify the name of the host on which the Device Manager agent is installed by directly editing the

server.cim.agent property in the server.properties file on the Device Manager server.

After the property is set, restart the P9000 Command View AE Suite product services.

CAUTION:

Make sure that the host name specified for the server.cim.agent property matches the host name

registered in Device Manager for the host that acquires performance information. If these host names

are different, you cannot acquire performance information.
