HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.4.1-00 Release Notes (TB581-96338, March 2013)

Installing Host Data Collector
• Although you can specify prohibited special characters other than semicolon (such as @) in the
installation path, Host Data Collector will not work properly. When you specify an installation
path, use only the following characters:
A -Z, a-z, 0-9, left parenthesis [ ( ], right parenthesis [ ) ], single-byte space, backslash (\).
• If Host Data Collector cannot be installed on the host with a supported operating system after
installing Device Manager, install Host Data Collector manually.
• The installation/uninstallation of Host Data Collector on a non-system drive creates a temp folder
on that drive. You can delete the folder.
• If the environment variable tmp in Windows includes characters other than the following,
installation does not succeed:
A-Z a-z 0-9 space ._() ~@#$^&()_+{}`-=[]',ó
Change the tmp path to use the above characters.
• When Host Data Collector is installed on a SUSE Linux server, Host Data Collector does not start
automatically after the operating system is rebooted. Execute the following command after the
post-installation reboot:
#chkconfig -s S99AP on
• Installing Host Data Collector from a remote server might not succeed.
If this occurs, remove Host Data Collector and store the target installation image on the server.
Then install Host Data Collector again using the installation image.
• Do not use two or more consecutive spaces in the Host Data Collector (for Windows) installation
path. Otherwise, you will not be able to uninstall Host Data Collector later.
Removing Host Data Collector
After removing Host Data Collector from a Solaris or Linux host, the following files or directories might
remain.
<installation-directory>/Winexe
<installation-directory>/HostDataCollector/conf/HDCPid.dat
Delete them manually after the removal.
Host Data Collector can be reinstalled if these files or directories remain.
Using Host Data Collector to register Linux hosts
If a user who is using a login shell other than the default shell registers or refreshes hosts, the operation
might generate the error ERR_1310. The user must use the default login shell.
Controlling access to resources

control:
