Description Method Purpose
To automatically acquire host information, or to manage a copy pair
by using the replication functionality of the volume, install Device
Manager agent on each host or on the management server of the copy
pair. Host information or copy pair information is sent from Device
Manager agent. For details about installing the Device Manager agent,
see the HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software
Installation and Configuration Guide.
To exclude a host from management by Command View AE Suite,
uninstall the Device Manager agent, and then remove the host using
Command View AE Suite.
To allocate volumes to an FCoE port, you must manually add a WWN.

TIP:
To register multiple hosts in a batch operation, use the ImportHosts command to import host
information such as host name and WWNs from a CSV file, and then register multiple hosts in a
batch operation. Hosts that are registered by using the
ImportHosts command are managed as
manually registered hosts. For details about the
ImportHosts
command, see the HP P9000 Command
View Advanced Edition Suite Software CLI Reference Guide.

Priority for acquiring the WWN
If hosts you want to register include a host that has a WWN that has already been registered, or
includes multiple hosts that have the same WWN, the host that acquires the WWN is determined
based on the product or application that detects it.
When hosts are registered by using multiple methods, the WWN acquisition priority, listed from
highest to lowest is:
1. A virtualization server.
2. A host registered by using Device Manager agent.
