About the CLARiiON Server Applications
Navisphere Host Agent
The Host Agent registers the server’s HBA (host bus adapter) with
the attached CX-Series, AX-Series, or FC-Series storage system when
the Agent service starts. This action sends the initiator records for
each HBA to the storage system. Initiator records are used to control
access to storage system data. For pre-FC4700 storage systems, the
Agent will send the initiator records only if Access Logix
™ software
is installed.
The Agent can then retrieve information from the storage system
automatically at startup or when requested by Manager or CLI.
The Host Agent can also
◆ Send drive mapping information to the attached CLARiiON ®
storage systems.
◆ Monitor storage-system events and can notify personnel by
e-mail, page, or modem when any designated event occurs.
◆ Retrieve LUN WWN (world wide name) and capacity
information from Symmetrix
® storage systems.
Important The Host Agent is supported for CX-Series, FC-Series, and
AX-Series storage systems that have been upgraded to Navisphere Manager,
that is, that have the Navisphere Manager Enabler installed.
You cannot install the Host Agent and the Navisphere Server Utility on the
same server. However, you can install them on different servers that are
connected to the same storage system.
