Installing and Configuring the HS-Series Agent 4–3
About the Network Connection for the
Agent
The network connection, shown in Figure 4–1, displays the subsystem connected to a hub
or a switch. SWCC can consist of any number of Clients and Agents in a network.
However, it is suggested that you install only one Agent (except for the HSZ22 Agent) on
a computer.
By using a network connection, you can configure and monitor the subsystem from
anywhere on the LAN. If you have a WAN or a connection to the Internet, monitor the
subsystem with TCP/IP.
IMPORTANT: SWCC does not support the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) or the
Windows Internet Name Service (WINS).
3 Verify that there is a LUN to communicate through. This can be either the CCL or a LUN that was
created with the CLI. See "The Command Console LUN" described in Chapter 1.
4 Install the Agent (TCP/IP network connections) on a system connected to the HSG80 controller.
See “Installing and Configuring the Agent,” page 4–5.
5 Add the name of the Client system to the Agent’s list of Client system entries (TCP/IP network
connections). This can be done during installation or when reconfiguring the Agent.
6 Install the Client software on Windows 2000 with Service Pack 1 or Windows NT 4.0 (Intel) with
Service Pack 6A. See Appendix B.
7 Add the name of the agent system to the Navigation Tree of each Client system that is on the
Agent’s list of Client system entries (TCP/IP network connections). See Appendix B.
8 Set up pager notification (TCP/IP network connections). Refer to “Setting Up Pager Notification”
in the Compaq StorageWorks Command Console Version 2.4 User Guide.
