Executing the OpenVMS Integrity Server host agent installer

• Before you begin the installation, use HP XPInfo to verify that the connectivity to the command
device is established. For more information, see “Verifying host agent connectivity to a
command device” (page 42).
• Ensure that the TCP/IP services are running on the OpenVMS host.
• The JRE v1.6.0–2.p1 is bundled along with the OpenVMS Integrity Server host agent software.
• RAID Manager Library is not required for the installation of the host agent software.
• Download the OVMS Host agent (XPPA_HA_OVMS_IA64.tar) tar file from the HP XP7
Performance Advisor support page, untar it, and then transfer the host agent
(HP-I64VMS-HPXPPAHA-V0601--1.PCSI) file to host
