Figure 1-2 Example System Configuration for Collecting Performance
Data of a Storage Subsystem
This section describes the system configuration that is required to use the
performance information acquisition feature.
• Management server
A management server is a server in which Device Manager server version
5.9 or later is installed. You must set the management server so that
CIM/WBEM can be used. For details, see Preparing to Use the CIM/WBEM
Features.
• Host that acquires performance information
The host is required when acquiring performance information of Universal
Storage Platform V/VM or Hitachi USP. You must install Device Manager
agent version 5.9 or later on this host.
We recommend that you use the same machine for the host to acquire
performance information and the management server. In this case, the OS
for the host that acquires performance information must be able to support
both Device Manager server and the Device Manager agent.
For example, if the OS for the management server is Windows XP, you
cannot install the Device Manager agent, so you cannot use this machine
as the host that acquires performance information.
