Installation and Deinstallation

Installation and

Deinstallation

This chapter describes how to install, verify, and deinstall the HP 3PAR Host Explorer agent on

the following platforms:

■ Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and 2008, 32 bit and 64 bit

■ Red Hat Linux systems running RHEL4 Update 6 or later and RHEL5

■ Sparc systems running Solaris 10

NOTE: In order for the HP 3PAR Storage System to dynamically discover host

devices, you must follow specific configuration instructions for the host operating

system and HBA. See the HP 3PAR Implementation Guides for recommended

practices and detailed configuration information about using your specific host

devices with the storage system.

NOTE: Each host connected to the HP 3PAR Storage System must use a host

persona with the SCSI Enclosure Services LUN (SESLun) enabled, or the Host

Explorer agent cannot communicate with the HP 3PAR Storage System. If you

upgraded from a version of the InForm OS released before 2.3.1, you must

convert your legacy personas to new host personas. For information about

configuring host personas, see the HP 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual

or the HP 3PAR HP InForm OS Management Console Online Help.
