Hitachi Global Link Manager Software Installation and Configuration Guide

Notes:
• If you are using version 9 or later of Internet Explorer, do not enable
ActiveX Filtering.
Host Requirements
To use Global Link Manager to manage hosts, installation and environment
setup of multipath management software must be completed on the hosts.
You can use IPv4 or IPv6 to connect to Global Link Manager if the host HDLM
version is 6.0 or later, or if you are using DMP or HP-UX multipathing.
Notes:
• If multiple NICs are installed, you must specify the IP address of one of
them for the server.http.socket.agentAddress and
server.http.socket.bindAddress properties
#
in the Device Manager
agent or Hitachi Command Suite Common Agent Component
server.properties file on each host. If these settings are not
performed, it might not be possible to add a host.
To add a host by specifying a host name, you must have configured the
network in such a way that the host name can be resolved from the IP
address specified in the server.http.socket.agentAddress property
and server.http.socket.bindAddress property.
#:
For details about the server.http.socket.agentAddress property
and server.http.socket.bindAddress property in the
server.properties file, see the Hitachi Command Suite
Configuration Reference Guide if the host HDLM version is earlier than
5.8. If the host HDLM version is 5.8 or later, or you are using DMP or
HP-UX multipath, see
Appendix A, Notes on Using HDLM Version 5.8
or Later, DMP, or HP-UX Multipathing on page A-1 in this manual.
Even if you use an IPv6 address to add a host for which both IPv4 and
IPv6 addresses are enabled, the host information might be added
using an IPv4 address. To prevent this, specify an IPv6 address for
the server.http.socket.agentAddress property and
server.http.socket.bindAddress property in the
server.properties file.
• A static IP address must be set for a host. Do not use DHCP.
• Before installing multipath management software, make sure that you set
the current time for the local time of the machine on which you are going
to install the software. If the current time is not set, path availability
information (path status log) might not be acquired correctly from the
hosts using HDLM.
When Using HDLM
If the installed HDLM version is earlier than 5.8, Device Manager agent 3.5 or
later must also be installed. For details about the HDLM requirements, see
