HP XP Racks - Manual (Page 247)

Prerequisite Target
The serial numbers of the storage systems managed by the Device Manager server
must be unique.
Storage system
P9000 RAID Manager 01-25-xx/xx or later must be installed (Device Manager
agent is not necessary), and the relay (P9000 RAID Manager) instance must have
been started. In addition:
• The user account for executing the Device Manager agent service (or Applica-
tion Agent service) and the local system account must be set up to permit login
in by the command device authentication account.
• If the P9000 RAID Manager instance is used to access multiple storage systems,
the account must be set up so that the same command device authentication
account and password can be used to log into each of the command devices.
Virtual Command Device
server
NOTE:
Some configurations using virtual command devices are not supported; see “ Unsupported configurations
(open systems) ” on page 464 for more information.
Table 15 Network prerequisites
Prerequisite Network application scope
The UDP communication ports used by the P9000 RAID Manager instances
must be specified in a configuration definition file.
Communication between the
primary and secondary P9000
RAID Manager instances
The P9000 RAID Manager instances on the pair management servers
can communicate with the SVPs using UDP. The ports used by the P9000
RAID Manager instances on the pair management servers are determined
by adding 34000 +
instance-number + 1.The port number used by
the SVPs is 31001.
Communication between the
P9000 RAID Manager instances
and the SVPs
The P9000 RAID Manager instances on the pair management servers
can communicate with the relay (P9000 RAID Manager) instance installed
on the virtual command device server using UDP. The ports used by the
P9000 RAID Manager instances on the pair management servers is the
value determined by adding 34000 +
instance-number + 1. The port
used by the (P9000 RAID Manager) relay instance on the virtual command
device server is specified in a configuration definition file.
Communication between the
P9000 RAID Manager instances
and the P9000 RAID Manager re-
lay instance on the virtual com-
mand device
Setting up an SVP as a virtual command device
NOTE:
For complete details on configuring and using virtual command devices, consult the HP P9000 RAID
Manager User Guide
To set up an SVP as a virtual command device:
1. Change the account used for execution of the Device Manager agent service to an account with
Administrator permission. (The default is the LocalSystem account.)
