•
Mainframe volume information (VOLSER and DEVN)
•
Logical DKC serial number of a storage subsystem
To use the web client to display information recognized by a mainframe host, you must set up the
mainframe host and Device Manager environments.
NOTE: In the web client, you cannot view mainframe hosts. The mainframe volume information
obtained from mainframe agent is displayed in the Mainframe-Unspecified group in the web client.
For details about the Mainframe-Unspecified group, see the HP StorageWorks XP Command
View Advanced Edition software Device Manager web client user guide.
4-12-1 Setting up the mainframe host environment
The following procedure shows how to set up the mainframe host environment. For details about
how to install and operate mainframe agent, see the HP StorageWorks XP Command View
Advanced Edition software mainframe agent installation and configuration guide.
To set up the mainframe host environment:
1. Install the mainframe agent on the mainframe host.
2. On the mainframe host, set up the mainframe agent environment.
For details about how to do this, see the HP StorageWorks XP Command View Advanced
Edition software mainframe agent installation and configuration guide.
IMPORTANT: When you specify the host name that the mainframe agent will use for reporting to
the Device Manager, do not specify the name of a host that is already being managed by the
Device Manager (including external connection ports that are being managed by the Device
Manager as hosts). To ensure that you do not specify such a host name, use one of the following
methods.
•
In the initialization parameter for setting up the mainframe agent environment, specify the host name to
be used to report to the Device Manager. Note that DNS must be able to resolve the host name you
specify.
•
If a host name that DNS can resolve is identical to a host name already managed by the Device
Manager, specify the host identification name of the mainframe host in the initialization parameter for
setting up the mainframe agent environment.
•
If neither of the above two methods avoids host name duplication, change the host name of the relevant
host managed by the Device Manager.
•
If none of the above three methods allows you to set a unique host name, specify any host name in the
initialization parameter for setting up the mainframe agent environment.
3. Start mainframe agent.
4-12-2 Setting up the Device Manager environment
The following procedure shows how to set up a Device Manager environment that enables the web
client to display mainframe volume information and logical DKC serial numbers of storage
subsystems.
4-12-2-1 Registering the mainframe host in Device Manager
To use the AddHost command to register the mainframe host in the Device Manager:
1. Execute the AddHost command to register the mainframe host in Device Manager.
When you execute the command, specify the following parameters:
○
Hostname : In this parameter, specify the host name that you specified when setting up the
mainframe host environment.
○
Hosttype : In this parameter, specify 2.
