9-6 Updating (Refreshing) Host Information
The system administrator, storage administrator, local system administrator, and local storage administrator 
can update the host information reported by Device Manager. Guest and local guest users can view the host 
information, but cannot update it. 
When you update host information, Device Manager updates the information displayed in the Last Updated, % 
Used, and File System fields for all storage allocated to the selected host. Device Manager also updates the 
copy status for the volumes that are managed by the selected host and paired by Business Copy XP, Snapshot 
XP, and Continuous Access XP. For details about the system configuration for displaying information about 
Business Copy XP, Snapshot XP, and Continuous Access XP, refer to the HP StorageWorks Command View 
XP Advanced Edition Device Manager Server Installation and Configuration Guide. 
CAUTION:
To update host information, Device Manager agent must be installed on the host.

local storage administrator.
