HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.5.0-00 Installation and Configuration Guide (TB581-96344, July 2013)

About HiScan command execution
The HiScan command configures Device Manager agents to send information to the server on a
regular basis. You can schedule HiScan for hourly, daily, or weekly execution.
NOTE:
If you specify weekly executions, also specify the day of the week you want the scan to run.
If no HiScan execution periods are set, agents do not regularly send acquired information to the
server.
To reduce Command View AE Suite server loads when agents are installed on multiple hosts, specify
daily or weekly executions and verify that multiple instances of HiScan do not run simultaneously.
For Windows, the batch file exeHiScan.bat with the HiScan settings is registered as a Windows
task.
Prerequisites for identifying RAID Manager
When Device Manager is linked to RAID Manager and used to manage copy pairs, you must determine
some information.
• The location of the RAID Manager installation folder:
• In Windows, the installation drive.
• In UNIX, the installation directory.
• The method used for managing copy pairs:
• Batch managed on a Device Manager agent host.
• Managed for each host on which the Device Manager agent is installed.
Agent installation prerequisites
Before installing the Device Manager agent, review the general prerequisites and check the host
settings and the status of each affected program to confirm that the host system is in the appropriate
state.
For more information about system requirements, see the HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition
Suite Software System Requirements.
Host prerequisites
Before installing the Device Manager agent, perform prerequisite tasks as appropriate.
• The Device Manager agent does not support operating systems that allow only IPv6 addresses.
To use the agent in an IPv6 operating system, configure it to allow both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
• Stop all programs.
• When setting up a firewall provided by an operating system, configure it so socket connections
cannot be terminated in the local host.
• If you are running security monitoring programs, either temporarily stop them or change the settings
so they do not prevent the installation.
