Chapter 4. Implementing the SAN Data Gateway 299
Once installed, the service runs automatically and does not require further
administrator interaction.
Communicating with the Gateway
Once the host is attached to the Gateway and restarted, the registration service
will communicate to the Gateway. The data shown on the Gateway will have to
be refreshed by selecting View-> Refresh SAN Data Gateway. This will cause
the updated data to be shown in the Specialist window.
The registration service will re-register the host to the SAN Data Gateway at a
default of 15 minute intervals. This interval can be changed if so desired.
Previous to enabling the VPS feature, you will have seen that the Specialist
displayed a window similar to Figure 4-31. There is no key beside the Fibre
Channel ports, indicating that no host is recognized.
Figure 4-31 Specialist display without VPS enabled
After the VPS is enabled and a host has registered with the Gateway, all its
information will load automatically into the database of the Gateway. Figure 4-32
shows, in the right-hand side view pane, the host name, host type, HBA and
connection information, and the unique WWN that was obtained automatically by
host registration.
