San Manager Host Agent

[Jerome Baron]

Hi,

Can someone give me explanation of what's San Manager Host Agent on HP UX ?
Is this product necessary with an XP512 ?
Can I remove this product ?

Thanks for help,
Jerome

Jerome,

The SAN Manager host agent is the background daemon that allows communication with Command View XP. I believe this host agent is part of the Command View package and necessary for communication and remote management of the array.

HTH,

FYI... the host agent that comes with Command View is not required for operation of Command View (or an XP) - it merely provides some very useful information that is displayed in Command View.

Mostly, it supplies the host /dev/rdsk/c?t?d? to LDEV mapping that appears in CV. It's nice to have, but not required for operation of the array or hosts attached to it.

I would leave it in place, if it's not causing any trouble on your host.

Good luck!

I have no clue...

If it's causing a problem, you should call in a service call.

Good luck,
