2.7.7 Host Explorer

The Host Explorer communicates with the storage server over an FC or iSCSI connection and

provides detailed host configuration information. You can start the service and configure

settings through the Host Explorer tab available from the RMVMware Admin Tool GUI

interface (see

on page 4.11 for details).

The Host Explorer collects the following information and sends it to the Storage Server:

Host operating system and version.

Fibre Channel and iSCSI HBA details.

Multipath driver and current multipath configuration.

Cluster configuration information.

Device and path Information.

2.7.8 Scheduling Tool

You can automatically have virtual copies created according to a specified schedule by using

the scheduling tool (see

6.8 Scheduling Virtual Copies

on page 6.19 for details). You have the

option of scheduling when (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly) the virtual copy is to be created and

then specifying how often the task is to be performed. You can also schedule a virtual copy

creation task to occur on a one-time basis.
