SAN surfer software

[Albert Austin]

Hi,

I am new to SANsurfer software, and dont have much knowledge of it. I am having problems using it on my environment. I have downloaded sansurfer2.0.30b58 for Windows and installed in on one of my servers. I would like to remotley get information of my HBA's, but when I try to connect to a host it keeps giving me an error that "cannot connect to host". I have found the reason to this fault as someting to do with remote agent (qlremote) not found on host.

I have the manual for the software but it mentions nothing of how to install agents!

In the software package there is no option to install only agents, I would need to install agents and gui! So do I have to install on each server I would like to monitor HBA with this option? Quite silly...beats the idea of remote access.

Can someone tell me how do I install this agent.

hi
i also use SANsurfer.
i always install the software on each client.

Ok,

So this software cannot connect to host remotely?
And installing it on each server is the only way to monitor fibre devices in my environment?

You have to install the Agent on each host. Do you not have a screenshot like the one attached? (the middle option on the left installs only agents)

Hi,

Where could I find those agents? Beats installing the software on each my servers.

Thanks,

Albert

In the screenshot provided by Stephen select the custom option. Then on the next screen you have the option to only install the remote agent without any gui.

Hi,
The problem is that the screenshot provided by Stephen is of a different version than the one that I have(see attach). I have choosen custom option during my setup but no option to install agent.
Now that I know a that with the version Stephen has you can install this agent, the next question as I asked in my earlier response is where can I get this software to download from?

Thnx,

Albert

I tested with sansurfer2.0.30b78 and sansurfer2.0.30b35. Dont't have Build 58 available but it really should be the same.

In the screenshot you attached select the Custom option (on the right side) then on the next screen select the agent (see attached image)

sorry, missed that one: you can download the sansurfer install package from the qlogic website, here is a direct link for build 78 (current version) http://download.qlogic.com/drivers/41736/sansurfer2.0.30b78_windows_install.exe
