HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.2 Administrator Guide (web)

For example, if the OS for the management server is Windows XP, you cannot install the Device
Manager agent, so you cannot use this computer as the host that acquires performance information.
Even if you use different computers for the management server and for the host that acquires
performance information, the OS for the host that acquires performance information must be
Windows, or Linux.
The host that acquires performance information cannot run HP-UX or AIX.
We recommend that you use the hdvmagt_setting command to set the Device Manager agent
central management method.
Storage system
This is a storage system whose performance information is to be acquired.
The host that acquires performance information (the Device Manager agent) acquires the inform-
ation of enterprise-class storage systems (P9500, XP24000/XP20000, and
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200) by using the command device within the storage system, and then
reports it to the Device Manager server.
The system configuration that is required to acquire performance information of a storage system
differs depending on the storage system model.
For information on P9500, XP24000/XP20000 or XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, see “Settings
required to acquire performance information of enterprise-class storage systems” on page 150.
Settings required to acquire performance information of enterprise-class storage
systems
This section describes the settings required to acquire performance information for enterprise-class
storage systems (P9500, XP24000/XP20000, or XP12000/XP10000/SVS200).
Preparing the storage system for acquiring performance information
Prepare a command device for each storage system from which you want to acquire performance
information, and then assign a path to the host that will acquire the performance information so that
the host can recognize the command device.
To acquire P9500 performance information, force hosts to recognize command devices for which
authentication mode is disabled.
Preparing the host to acquire performance information
Configure the settings shown below for the host that will acquire performance information.
