Requesting host agent updates
Prerequisites
Ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
• Ensure that the version of the host agent installed on the host matches with the version of P9000
Performance Advisor installed on the management station.
• Ensure that the command devices are already created on the XP and the P9000 disk arrays con-
nected to your host, and configured to communicate with the host. If not already created, the
corresponding RAID Manager Library version is not displayed when you request for a host update.
In such cases, do the following:
1. Create command devices on the XP and the P9000 disk arrays. For more information on
creating command devices, refer to the HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Soft-
ware Installation Guide (see “Related information” on page 395).
2. Associate the command device with your host agents.
3. Request an update on your host agents.
To request an update on your host agent:
1. Click Monitoring > Array View in the left pane.
The Array View screen appears.
