Verifying host connectivity to a command device
Command devices must be created and presented to your host to establish connectivity between your
host agent and the XP Disk Array before you begin the host agent installation. If a command device
is not created and presented to the host, the XP RAID Manager Library version will not be displayed
when you request an host update from XP Performance Advisor.
Use XPInfo to verify if a command device is presented to your XP Performance Advisor host.
IMPORTANT:
• XPInfo is available in the Tools folder on XP Performance Advisor Installation disk 2, and must
be executed separately. HP does not recommend connecting a command device through multiple
paths.

of your host, type xpinfo.exe - i | find “-CM”.

agents” on page 73.

your host, type xpinfo -z.
