• IPv6 address in a non-English edition of Windows 2008 (such as Japanese).

• On a UNIX host, if a file system is mounted to a directory that contains any of the following

characters, the file system usage percentage does not appear correctly:

~!@#$%+{}|"<>?`=[]\;',.

Registering hosts using Host Data Collector

• If the account used to register Windows hosts was a domain account, the Windows UPN format

(user-name@domain-name) cannot be used. Use the domain-name\user-name format.

• The length of the password for the account used to register hosts must not exceed 128 characters.

• If a Windows host belongs to a Windows domain, use Windows Service Management to register

the Windows host.

• When WMI protocol is used for registering hosts of the Windows target host, use the Administrator

account.

Host Data Collector cannot obtain host information in the following cases.
