CAUTION:
If you urgently need to stop the Device Manager agent, you can force the Device Manager agent to
shut down by executing the hbsasrv command with the stop -f option. In such a case, all processing
by the Device Manager agent service is forced to terminate, thus ongoing processing of jobs is not
guaranteed.
NOTE:
When the Device Manager agent service is started, the following service or daemon process will be
started (dependent on the OS):
In Windows:
hbsa_service.exe (Service name: HBsA Service)
In UNIX:
hbsa_service
Manually reporting host information to the Device Manager server
When the configuration of a storage system connected to a host or the configuration of a file system
on a host is changed, you can reflect the changes to the Device Manager server by manually executing
the HiScan command.
For details about how to automatically report host information, see “Automatically reporting host
information to the Device Manager server” on page 214.
NOTE:
Information about the host on which a Device Manager agent is installed is automatically reflected
to the Device Manager server in the following cases:
• When the HiScan command is automatically executed
• When the host is started
• When host information is updated from the Device Manager GUI
Checking the version of the Device Manager agent
Before you upgrade or restore the Device Manager agent, or when you want to find out which functions
are supported in the Device Manager server, execute the hdvm_info command and confirm the
version of the Device Manager agent installed on the host.
Configuration definition file for managing copy pairs
In Device Manager, you can use a user-created RAID Manager configuration definition file to manage
copy pairs.
