When a host is installed by using the Device Manager agent, information on the host is sent to the
Device Manager server. This function automatically adds new hosts to Device Manager. For details on the
Device Manager agent, see the manual HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition Device
Manager Agent Installation Guide.
