Setting up a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 host
Before installing the P9000 Performance Advisor host agent on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux v4.0 host,
ensure that the following prerequisites are completed:
1. You must have a root or superuser access to the host.
2. Install the Legacy Network Packages if the packages are not installed.
3. Edit /etc/xinetd.d/<service> to enable the service by default, where <service> is
rexec, vsftpd, etc.
4. Edit /etc/security by adding rexec, rlogin, vsftpd, and telnet.
5. Edit /etc/pam.d/login to comment out the line:
# auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
6. Edit /etc/pam.d/rexec to comment out the line:
# auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
7. Edit /etc/vsftpd.ftpusers to comment out the line:
# root
8. Edit /etc/vsftpd.user_list to comment out the line:
# root
9. Restart the service by entering /sbin/service xinetd restart.
10. Restart vsftpd by entering /sbin/service vsftpd restart. Make sure no other ftp
services are running (for example, tftp).
Creating and presenting command devices to hosts
If you are using RAID Manager (Business Copy and Continuous Access Synchronous), you already
have command devices that the P9000 Performance Advisor host agent can use. If RAID Manager
is not being used, create a command device using the Remote Web Console or the Remote Control
applications. If you are using the Command View Advanced Edition Device Manager, you must launch
the Command View AE Device Manager and then the Remote Web Console.

NOTE:
For the XP24000/XP20000/XP12000/XP10000 Disk Array, configure the command devices as
SLPR0 to report the full SLPR data.
For the XP24000 Disk Array and the P9000 disk arrays, you can also configure the ThP VVols
as command devices.
The P9000 Performance Advisor Windows and UNIX host agents can coexist with the RAID
Manager.
