For the server.cim.agent property in the server.properties file of the Device Manager
server, specify the name of the host where the Device Manager agent is installed. After
specifying the host name, restart the Device Manager server.
NOTE: Make sure that the host name specified for the server.cim.agent property matches
the host name registered in Device Manager for the host that acquires performance information. If
these host names are different, you cannot acquire performance information.
A-6-2-4 Agent settings in the perf_cmddev.properties file
Edit the perf_cmddev.properties file to define the command device of the target storage
subsystem.
The perf_cmddev.properties file is stored in the following location:
• In Windows:
installation-folder-for-the-Device-Manager-
agent\mod\hdvm\config\perf_cmddev.properties
• In Linux:
/opt/HDVM/HBaseAgent/mod/hdvm/config/perf_cmddev.properties
Use the following format to define the command device in the perf_cmddev.properties file.
Define one command device per line.
Raid-ID.serial-number.LDEV-number:deviceFileName
The following table describes the values to be specified in the perf_cmddev.properties file.
Table A-5 Values you need to specify in the perf_cmddev.properties file
Setting Item Value
Raid ID Specify one of the following depending on the type of the target
storage subsystem:
R600 for HP XP24000
R601 for HP XP20000
R500 for XP12000/XP10000/SVS200
R501 for HP XP disk array NSC55
R502 for SVS200
Serial number Specify the serial number of the storage subsystem by using
decimal numbers.
LDEV number Specify the CU:LDEV number of the command device by using
decimal numbers.
deviceFileName Specify the command device identifier (the PhysicalDrive number,
VolumeGUID, or device file name) that the host recognizes in the
following format:
*
• In Windows:
\\.\PhysicalDriveX
\\.\Volume{GUID}
• In Linux:
/dev/sdX
X is an integer.
*
: When this item is specified using the PhysicalDrive number in Windows or Linux, if you restart the OS, the
PhysicalDrive number and device file name might be changed. If this occurs, you need to execute the
perf_findcmddev command to check and update the settings. In Windows, if you specify this item using
the VolumeGUID, the setting is not affected even if you restart the OS.
