298 Implementing an Open IBM SAN
A dialog box appears requesting the entry of a license key number. For units with
serial numbers lower than 1300600 you are required to get a license key that is
matched to the serial number of the SAN Data Gateway. For units with serial
numbers higher than 1300600, the VPS feature is bundled into the product. Type
the word enable and the feature will now be enabled.
Host registration
With VPS enabled, the host registration service is also available. This service is
provided to simplify VPS configurations. It provides the host name, host type,
host connection, and the unique WWN of the Fibre Channel host bus adapter.
Host information is sent over the Fibre Channel connection to the Gateway.
To obtain this information, a program is loaded on each host. This program is
found, and can be downloaded at the same Web site that the StorWatch SAN
Data Gateway Specialist was downloaded from.

After completing the registration and license agreement, the Download Main
page is displayed. Select the operating system software subheading and look for
HOSTSW. View the read.me file for the latest information. Download the
software and install it onto the host that will be attaching to the SAN Data
Gateway. Follow the instructions provided in the read.me file.
For Windows NT, the file is a self-executing file, so it can be executed or run as
any *.exe file. As it runs through the install, make sure to select SAN Explorer
and VPS Registration Service, as shown in Figure 4-30.
