Hardware and Software Support
33HSG80 Enterprise Modular Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel Solution Software V8.8 for
OpenVMS Release Notes
Multiple Agents
This Solution Software Kit contains an SWCC Agent that supports controller
locking during CLI command execution, which allows support for multiple
Agents. This locking feature is required in order to use the Management
Appliance in addition to the host-based SWCC Agent. However, it is not
recommended or required to use multiple Agents for any other purpose.
Note: SWCC Agent V2.3.2, Build 79 or later supports the locking feature. This release
of Solution Software exceeds this requirement.
Multiple Management Sessions
Though multiple Clients can be used to monitor the storage system, HP
recommends that only one instance of storage system management be active at a
time. The Client allows for multiple management sessions, but there are no
ownership rights given to any particular session. Without a highly coordinated
effort, multiple management sessions can undermine the integrity of system
maintenance. This same principle applies to multiple management sessions
initiated through the Management Appliance as well.
