Prerequisites for running the Device Manager agent

This section provides the prerequisites for running the Device Manager agent. This section also provides

notes on using the Device Manager agent.

Prerequisites for using a host on which multiple NICs are installed

You must perform the following before running the Device Manager agent on a host on which multiple

NICs are installed:

• Open the server.properties file of the Device Manager agent, and then set the server.ht-

tp.socket.agentAddress property to the IP address of the NIC that is used by the Device

Manager agent.

• If the OSs of the host that recognizes the P-VOL and the host that recognizes the S-VOL are Win-

dows, check and, if necessary, revise the priority of NICs on each of the hosts so that the IP address

assigned to the priority NIC of the local host matches the IP address obtained when the host name

of the local host is resolved from the remote host. In an environment in which name resolution

cannot be performed, an error might occur when an operation is performed on copy pairs from

the Device Manager CLI or from Replication Manager.

To change the priority of NICs:

1. From Control Panel, click Network and Sharing Center, and then click Change adapter settings.

2. From the Advanced menu, click Advanced Settings, and then click the Adapters and Bindings

tab to change the priority of NICs.

If the Advanced menu is not displayed, press the Alt key to display the menu bar and then

perform the above operation.
