3.2 Installation and Verification
This section describes how to install and verify installation of a 3PAR Host Explorer agent. You
must have the 3PAR Host Explorer CD, part number 780-200053 to install the 3PAR Host
Explorer.
NOTE: For information about supported platforms, refer to the InForm OS
Configuration Matrix available from 3PAR’s Document Control System.
NOTE: In order for the InServ Storage Server to dynamically discover host devices,
you must follow specific configuration instructions for the host operating system
and HBA. See the 3PAR Implementation Guides for recommended practices and
detailed configuration information about using your specific host devices with
the InServ Storage Server.
NOTE: Each host connected to the InServ Storage Server must use a host persona
with the SCSI Enclosure Services LUN (SESLun) enabled, or the Host Explorer agent
cannot communicate with the InServ Storage Server. If you upgraded to 3PAR
InForm Operating System version 2.3.1 from a previous release, you must convert
your legacy personas to new host personas. For information about configuring
host personas, see the 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual or the 3PAR
InForm OS Management Console Online Help.
