Windows and UNIX host agent services
This section describes the procedures to start, stop, or restart Windows and UNIX host agent and
real-time services:
IMPORTANT:
• When a Windows host agent service is started, stopped, or restarted using the Start > Programs
> HP Storage Works > HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Host Agent menu, the
real-time service is also automatically started, stopped, or restarted. However, if you start, stop,
or restart the Windows host agent service from the Services dialog box (using services.msc),
you have to manually perform these actions on the real-time service also.
• To start, stop, or restart the Windows host agent from the Services dialog box, click Start > Run,
type services.msc, and press the Enter key. In the Services dialog box, right-click the
HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Hostagent service and accordingly select Start,
Stop, or Restart from the drop-down list that appears. Similarly, for the real-time service, right-
click the HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Realtime Server service and select the
appropriate options from the drop-down list that appears.
