2. Based on whether you have enabled or disabled IPv6 for the host agent, enter the corresponding
registered fully qualified Domain Name System (DNS) or IP address of the management station
in the Management Station Address box.
If multiple LAN cards are configured in the management station, enter the IP address of your
corporate LAN.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the DNS ([servername].[domain name]) or IP address that you provide
does not contain a space or non-alphanumeric characters.
The DNS or IP address of the management station is required by the host to establish connection
with the management station. After the connection is established, the host agent details appear
in the Host Information table on the Array View screen. For more information, see the chapter
on Communicating with hosts in the HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software
User Guide. For document download location, see Related information.
The DNS or IP address of your management station varies based on whether it is IPv6 or IPv4
enabled. The following are examples of DNS and IP address of management station that is IPv6
or IPv4 enabled:
• IPv6 enabled management station:
• DNS: test.abc.xyz.com
• IP address: 0000:a00:b000:a00:b000
• IPv4 enabled management station:
• DNS: test.abc.xyz.com
• IP address: 01.01.01.01
3. Enter the HTTP Port number that the host agent should use to communicate with P9000 Performance
Advisor on the management station.
The port number that you enter must be the same as that provided when installing P9000
Performance Advisor on the management station. Port 80 is the default port number, which you
can retain or provide a different port number.
4. Click Next to proceed.
The Connectivity Test window appears. For more information on the next set of steps, Testing
validity, connectivity, and GUID configuration.
Testing validity, connectivity, and GUID configuration
Test whether the DNS or IP address, and HTTP port of the management station that you provided is
valid, and whether you are able to assign a command device to the host agent. Also, test whether
the Windows GUID (\\?\Volume{GUID}) is created and assigned to command devices on the Windows
host.
