Communicating with host agents
P9000 Performance Advisor displays the host agents in the Host Information table under the Host
Information tab. The current status of a host agent is displayed as Requested when you seek an update
from the host agent (for example, when it is reinstalled). The status changes to Received after P9000
Performance Advisor retrieves the requested information from the host agent. When the host agents
are first installed on the hosts, their current status is displayed as Received.
