HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.6.1-00 Administrator Guide (Web Version)

Device Manager agent version 7.0 or later is required for P9500 storage systems, and Device
Manager agent version 5.9 or later is required for XP24000/XP20000 or
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 storage systems.
HP recommends that use the same computer for the management server and for the host that ac-
quires performance information.
Even if you use different computers for the management server and for the host that acquires
performance information, the OS for the host that acquires performance information must be
Windows or Linux.
The host that acquires performance information cannot run HP-UX or AIX.
HP recommends that you use the hdvmagt_setting command to set the Device Manager agent
central management method.
Management server
Device Manager server version 5.9 or later must be installed, and the CIM/WBEM functions must
be enabled.
Settings required to acquire performance information of storage systems
This section describes the settings required to acquire performance information for storage systems
(P9500, XP24000/XP20000, or XP12000/XP10000/SVS200).
Preparing the storage system for acquiring performance information
Prepare a command device for each storage system from which you want to acquire performance
information, and then assign a LUN path to the host that will acquire the performance information so
that the host can recognize the command device.
To acquire P9500 performance information, force hosts to recognize command devices for which
authentication mode is disabled.
Preparing the host to acquire performance information
Install the Device Manager agent, and then register command devices.
To collect performance information:
1. Install the Device Manager agent.
To acquire performance information, a RAID Manager/LIB is necessary. If you install the Device
Manager agent on a host, the necessary RAID Manager/LIB is installed. However, if the host
OS is UNIX, and a RAID Manager/LIB is already installed on the host, the RAID Manager/LIB
is not overwritten. If this is the case, install the proper RAID Manager/LIB, as shown in the following
table.

2. Use the Device Manager agent hdvmagt_setting command to configure the central
management method settings. (This is recommended.)
