about the server to all connected storage systems. To update server
information, select option 1 from the server utility’s Welcome screen,
and follow the instructions on the utility.

Generating a high-availability report
The Generate high availability report option (option 3)andthe
naviserverutil hav [-upload] command determine if the server is
configured for high availability by verifying that the server has at least
oneconnectionpathtoeachstorage-systemSP,andthatPowerPathor
some other failover software, such as DMP or PV Links, is running. The
utility will not detect any other native failover software, such as Sun
StorEdge Traffic Manager.
After the verification, the utility generates a summary report and saves
it to the server. If you issue the naviserverutil hav command with
the -upload switch, the utility also sends the report to the specified
storage system.

 check the status of a server.
 prepare for a software installation on a storage system.
