HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software v5.3.1 Release Notes (T1789-96335, November 2011)

Removing the P9000 Performance Advisor host agent

NOTE:

If the Storage Area Manger 3.3 host agent is also installed on the same host as the P9000 Performance

Advisor host agent, remove the P9000 Performance Advisor host agent before removing the Storage

Area Manager host agent. Removing the Storage Area Manager host agent first might lead to the

removal of some P9000 Performance Advisor components.

Removing a Windows host agent

To remove the Windows host agents, complete the following steps:

1. At the host, select Start > Run, type appwiz.cpl, and press the Enter key.

2. Select HP StorageWorks P9000 <ver> Host Agent Installer to remove the existing version of the

host agent. The installer informs you that a system reboot is required after the host agent is re-

3. Click OK to proceed or click Cancel. The installer starts gathering the required information. This

might take few minutes. The installer then prompts you to remove the RAID Manager Library

functions.

4. Click Yes to remove the RAID Manager Library.

If the RAID Manager Library functions are being shared by some other application, click No to

retain it.

5. After the host agent is un-installed, the corresponding host agent record is still visible on the

P9000 Performance Advisor's Host Information screen. Click Remove Host to manually remove

the host agent record from the management station. After the host agent records are removed,

the management station will not receive any communication from the respective hosts. For inform-

Software 5.3 User Guide. For document download location, see “Related documenta-
