Prerequisites for normal hosts managed by Host Data Collector (UNIX hosts)
To use Host Data Collector to manage normal hosts, you need to specify the environment settings for
each normal host to be managed. The environment settings that need be specified on the UNIX host
differ according to the UNIX account used to register the host in Device Manager.
Host Data Collector comes with P9000 Command View AE Suite, which is installed on the management
server, but can also be installed on a computer other than the management server.
Before you register normal hosts in Device Manager, the following environment settings must already
be specified on the normal hosts:
When information about the host is collected by using the root account
• SSH is enabled.
• Settings have been performed so that you can log in as root via a remote SSH login with password
authentication.
• When the OS of a normal host to be managed is AIX, the ODMDIR environment variable is set.
• The directories for commands that are executed during Host Data Collector processing must be
the first paths specified in the PATH environment variable.
NOTE:
If the root account is used to register a host into Device Manager, do not use a general user account
to register the host a second time.
When information about the host is collected by using a general user account
• SSH is enabled.
• The user account used when the host is registered has been created specifically for Host Data
Collector (recommended).
• Settings have been specified in the PATH environment variable so that the sudo command can
be executed.
• When the OS of a normal host to be managed is AIX, the ODMDIR environment variable is set.
• Update permissions (rwx) are set for the /tmp directory.
• Settings have been specified in the /etc/sudoers file so that the sudo command can be executed
by using either the password of a general user or without entering any password.
• To enable execution of the sudo command by using a general user password:
Add the definitions below. However, you cannot use the root account password.

• To enable execution of the sudo command without entering a password:
Add the following definitions.
