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.

To update host information:

1.

Log in to Device Manager as a system administrator, storage administrator, local system administrator, or
local storage administrator.

2.

Select and expand the Hosts object in the navigation frame (refer to

If a copy pair for Business Copy XP or Snapshot XP for StorageWorks XP12000/XP10000 is

detected while host information is being updated, the Copy Type field for that copy pair is left blank. In this
