the Windows GUID (\\?\Volume{GUID}) is created and assigned to command devices on the
Windows host.
NOTE: These verification tests only help you to verify if the details provided are accurate. Even
if the tests are not successful, the host agent installation does not stop. You can rectify the errors
and proceed with the installation, or complete the installation and then resolve the validity and
connectivity issues. For more information on resolving errors later, see “Resolving validity,
connectivity, and GUID configuration errors after installation” (page 75).
To test validity, connectivity, and the GUID configuration:
1. Complete the following verifications, rectify the errors that are displayed, and proceed to the
next step:
a. Click Test Validity to verify if the DNS or IP address of the management station that you
provided on the Connection Settings installation window is valid.
If the installer displays the following message, it indicates that you must verify and provide
a valid DNS or IP address:
The DNS or IP address entered for your management station is
incorrect.
Click Back to go to the Connection Settings installation window and provide valid entries.
Then, click Next to come back to this installation window and repeat the Test Validity
procedure.
b. Click Test Connectivity to verify if the command devices are configured and presented to
the host.
If the installer displays the following message, it indicates that you must create and assign
command devices to the host.
The host does not have connectivity to command devices.
Check whether a command device is created and presented to the host. For more
information, see “Creating and assigning command devices to host agents” (page 39).
Repeat the Test Connectivity procedure.
c. Click Test GUID to verify if the Windows GUID (\\?\Volume{GUID}) is created and
assigned to command devices on the Windows host. GUIDs help to overcome device
renaming and device remapping issues during performance data collection.
If the installer displays the following message, it indicates that you must create and assign
Windows GUID (\\?\Volume{GUID}) to command devices on the Windows host.
The host does not have command devices configured as GUID's.
Refer to the Installation Guide for steps on how to configure a
command device as a GUID.
Check whether the Windows GUID (\\?\Volume{GUID}) is created and assigned to
command devices on Windows host. For more information, see “Assigning GUIDs for
command devices on a Windows host agent” (page 83).
Repeat the Test GUID procedure.
2. Click Next to proceed.
The Custom Setup window appears. For more information on the next set of steps, see “Selecting
complete or custom installation method” (page 76).
