Compaq StorageWorks HSG60 ACS Solution Software V8.6 for Sun Solaris Installation and Configuration Guide

4–8 HSG80 ACS Solution Software Version 8.6 for Sun Solaris Installation and Configuration Guide
Restarting the SWCC Agent
After you make any changes to the SWCC Agent configuration, the Agent daemon must
be stopped and restarted. This ensures that changes to the configuration files are read by
the steamd program. The steamd program is the daemon for the Agent.
Configuring the Agent within FirstWatch
If you have VERITAS FirstWatch installed, you may configure the StorageWorks
Command Console Agent to run under FirstWatch. This allows FirstWatch to start the
Agent on the primary host. In the case of a failover, FirstWatch will transition the Agent to
the takeover host.
To configure the Agent to run with FirstWatch, you must have FirstWatch installed and
configured. You must also install the Agent on both hosts and configure the Agents
identically (subsystem name, notification options, and Client options). This is required so
that when the Agent is transitioned to the takeover host, all access and notification remain
identical.
Once the Agent is configured on both hosts, determine which host will be the primary and
which will be the takeover host. On each host, start the configuration utility (see
“Configuring the Agent with RAID Array V8.6 Configuration Menu,” page 4–5) and
select option 21 from the Other Options group.
NOTE: Any future configuration changes made on one FirstWatch server must also be made on
the other host.
RAID Manager Mail Messages
Mail messages sent by the RAID Manager are useful in troubleshooting subsystem
problems. To receive RAID Manager messages, you must enable “email notification”
within the Agent Configuration program. For more information on how to decipher mail
messages from RAID Manager, refer to Compaq StorageWorks Command Console
Version 2.4 User Guide.
