Installing and Configuring the HSG Agent
127HSG80 ACS Solution Software V8.8 for Sun Solaris Installation and Configuration Guide
Restarting the SWCC Agent
After you make any changes to the SWCC Agent configuration, the Agent
daemon must be stopped and restarted. This ensures that changes to the
configuration files are read by the steamd program. The steamd program is the
daemon for the Agent.
Configuring the Agent within FirstWatch
If you have VERITAS FirstWatch installed, you may configure the StorageWorks
Command Console Agent to run under FirstWatch. This allows FirstWatch to
start the Agent on the primary host. In the case of a failover, FirstWatch will
transition the Agent to the takeover host.
To configure the Agent to run with FirstWatch, you must have FirstWatch
installed and configured. You must also install the Agent on both hosts and
configure the Agents identically (subsystem name, notification options, and Client
options). This is required so that when the Agent is transitioned to the takeover
host, all access and notification remain identical.
Once the Agent is configured on both hosts, determine which host will be the
primary and which will be the takeover host. On each host, start the configuration
utility (see ) and select option 21 from the Other Options group.
Note: Any future configuration changes made on one FirstWatch server must also be
made on the other host.
RAID Manager Mail Messages
Mail messages sent by the RAID Manager are useful in troubleshooting
subsystem problems. To receive RAID Manager messages, you must enable
“email notification” within the Agent Configuration program. For more
information on how to decipher mail messages from RAID Manager, refer to HP
StorageWorks Command Console Version 2.5, User Guide.
