Installing Additional
Navisphere Host
Agent Software The EMC ControlCenter Navisphere Host Agent should be used to
automatically register host connections with the array. PowerPath
and ATF require different registration types and the Navisphere Host
Agent is the preferred method over manual registrations.
You should install the Navisphere Host Agent software to ensure the
HBA connections are all registered correctly. For instructions on how
to perform this operation refer to the EMC ControlCenter Navisphere
Host Agent software documentation for your array type.
After the host agent has started and registered the new HBA paths,
you should refresh the host connections in the storage group to
ensure all available paths are assigned. To do this:
1. Shut down the host.
2. Remove the host from the storage group.
3. Apply the change.
4. Add the host back into the storage group.
5. Restart the host.
6. Check the array connectivity status to ensure all connections you
require are active.
