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 on
how to set up CIM/WBEM, see section
A-3.
Host that acquires performance information
The host is required when acquiring performance information of XP24000/XP20000 or
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200. 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.
Even if you use a machine, which is different from the management server, for the host to
acquire performance information, the OS for the host that acquires performance information
must be Windows, Solaris, or Linux. You cannot use a host on which HP-UX or AIX is running
to acquire performance information. For details about the OSs (Windows, Solaris, and Linux)
