Displaying of Host Data Collector
When using host discovery with Host Data Collector, the following information cannot be displayed
correctly:
• IPv6 address in Windows 2008 German Edition.
• IPv6 address in Solaris and HP-UX environments if IPv4 address specified by a user for registering
host is an alias IP address.
• IPv6 address in a Linux environment if more than 2 IPv6 addresses are assigned to one interface.
• IPv6 address in a non-English edition of Windows 2008 (such as Japanese).
• On a Unix host, if a file system is mounted to a directory that contains any of the following
characters, the file system usage percentage is not displayed correctly:
~!@#$%+{}|"<>?`=[]\;',.
Registering hosts using Host Data Collector
• If the account used to register Windows hosts was a domain account, the Windows UPN format
(user-name@domain-name) could not be used. Use the domain-name\user-name format.
• The length of the password for the account used to register hosts must not exceed 128 characters.
• If a Windows host belongs to a Windows domain, use Windows Service Management to register
the Windows host.
• When WMI protocol is used for registering hosts of Windows target host, use the Administrator
account.
Host Data Collector cannot obtain host information in the following cases.
• The Device Manager agent is installed on the target host.
• The target host has multipath iSCSI volumes.
• In the HP-UX host, a logical volume name includes any of the following characters:
@#$%^&*()_+{}|:"<>?`-=[]\;',.
• The target host is Solaris, Linux, or HP-UX and more than 256 volumes are attached in the host.
• Host Data Collector cannot acquire host information for an AIX host that has a device renamed
by the rendev command, because that device information cannot be acquired.

Solaris 9 CPU usage might increase to 100% if Host Data Collector attempts to register a Windows
host. If this happens, reboot the Solaris server.
Registering Solaris hosts through Host Data Collector
The metastat_pXXXX.rst files created by Host Data Collector in the /tmp directory on the Solaris
host are not deleted after registering hosts or if the refresh is complete.
