If both Host Data Collector and the Device Manager agent manage information about normal

hosts or virtual machines, the Device Manager GUI or CLI uses the information acquired by the

Device Manager agent.

• With Host Data Collector:

Host Data Collector can manage normal hosts, virtual machines, and virtualization servers.

Network hosts that are found from the Device Manager GUI or CLI are registered in Device

Manager.

• With Device Manager agent:

The Device Manager agent can manage normal hosts and virtual machines.

When the Device Manager agent is installed on a host, the host is registered in Device Manager.

• With XP7 mainframe agent:

The XP7 mainframe agent can manage mainframe hosts.

Using the Device Manager CLI, register both the mainframe hosts that you want to manage and

XP7 mainframe agent which you will use to manage those hosts, in Device Manager.
