HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software Mainframe Agent Installation and Configuration Guide

Registering the mainframe host in Device Manager
To use the AddHost command to register the mainframe host in Device Manager:
1. Execute the AddHost command to register the mainframe host in Device Manager.
When you execute the command, specify the following parameters:
• hostname: In this parameter, specify the host name of the mainframe host (the value you
specified for the parameter in “Parameters” on page 34).
• hosttype: In this parameter, specify 2.
2. In the result of the AddHost command, make sure that the specified information is correctly output
to the name and hosttype parameters.
Notes on executing the AddHost command:
• If the host name specified during mainframe host environment setup and the host name specified
during Device Manager environment setup do not match, information registered in P9000 main-
frame agent cannot be acquired.
• Do not specify the wwnlist parameter when registering the mainframe host in Device Manager.
If you do, an error occurs.
• Record the objectID value output when the AddHost command is executed. You will need this
value for the subsequent procedures and operations.
• Although the IP address specified in the ipaddress parameter of a command is registered as
an attribute of the mainframe host, the IP address registered using the AddHost command is not
used for communication with P9000 mainframe agent. The information for communicating with
P9000 mainframe agent is specified in “Registering the P9000 mainframe agent running on the
mainframe host” on page 43.
Action to take if an error occurs during the execution of the AddHost command:
Use the GetHost command to check whether the mainframe host is registered. If the mainframe
host is not registered, register it by using the AddHost command. If the mainframe host is registered
incorrectly, use the ModifyHost command to correct the registered information. For details on
how to correct the registered mainframe host information, see “Changing mainframe host inform-
ation” on page 47.
Command format:
hdvmcli AddHost "hostname=mainframe-host-name" "hosttype=2"
Example of executing the command:
hdvmcli AddHost -o "D:\logs\AddHost.log" "hostname=toro2" "hosttype=2"
